Waco Truck Brake Malfunction Lawyers
Any car accident has the potential to result in serious bodily injury and motor vehicle damage. But those collisions that involve commercial trucks are apt to have more severe consequences due to the size and weight of the typical 18-wheeler and its cargo. To reduce the likelihood of such an accident, truck manufacturers must follow safety regulations, while truckers and their employers need to safely maintain their vehicles.
Unfortunately, the negligence of a truck manufacturer or a trusted maintenance mechanic can lead to brake malfunctions without warning. If you have been injured in a truck accident attributable to this defect, contact the Waco truck brake malfunction lawyers of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842 to discuss the matter with a skilled and experienced attorney.
Different Factors in Brake Malfunctions
Some potential causes of brake malfunctions may include:
- The replacement with or initial installation of substandard parts
- Disconnected, perforated, punctured, or sliced hydraulic fluid lines
- Flawed parking brake
- Absent essential components, including brake shift interlock
Despite the fact that a truck driver’s engagement with the brake system is largely limited to the use of the brake pedal or handbrake, a complicated network of parts handles braking. When these are functioning properly, the truck will be brought to a stop as desired when the brakes are depressed. But a problem anywhere in this system can lead to a brake malfunction and subsequently an accident may occur.
