Brake Malfunction

Brakes play an important role in the overall safety of a motor vehicle. The integrity of an automobile’s brakes determines whether or not a vehicle will be able to slow down or stop when needed. If brakes malfunction unexpectedly, the driver is at the mercy of the road. Making sure your brakes are functioning properly with routine inspections can help protect against sudden accidents. Not all defects can be found, however, and mistakes made by the manufacturer can cause sudden, serious accidents.

If the negligence of a vehicle manufacturer led to your accident, you should not be forced to pick up the bill. Our experienced attorneys can help you get the compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Contact our offices today at 877-948-4842.

Types of Brake Malfunctions

Brakes can malfunction for a number of reasons. Some of the most common causes of brake defects include:

  •  Leaking brake lines
  • Rusted brake lines
  • Poorly installed brake parts
  • Worn brake pads
  • Defective pads, rotors, shoes, or drums

When one of these conditions exists, it may cause the vehicle to have trouble slowing down in time, or could even cause the brakes to fail completely.
