Causes of Truck Brake Failure Accidents in California
Truck brake failure accidents can occur under a number of circumstances; any of the following parties could potentially be responsible:
- The truck driver — Truck drivers who speed or drive too fast for existing weather conditions (e.g rain, wind, snow) could cause the truck’s brakes to fail, resulting in a collision with another vehicle.
- The trucking company — Trucking companies are responsible for properly vetting and training drivers. By failing to do so, these companies can be held vicariously liable for accidents and injuries that occur. Moreover, trucking companies are required to ensure braking systems and other mechanical parts are properly maintained. When they fail to ensure proper maintenance, they can be held responsible for truck brake failure accidents.
- Brake manufacturers — Truck brake manufacturing companies are responsible for ensuring that their products are safe and do not have serious defects. If the braking system is defective, then the truck parts manufacturer may be held liable for any accidents or injuries resulting from a truck brake failure.
Regardless of who is responsible for the truck brake failure accident that caused your injuries, trust the team at J&Y Law to provide you with powerful representation, explore your legal options, and fight to win your truck accident claim.
