Who Can Sue for a Brake Failure Accident?

Victims of a brake failure accident often qualify to sue the at-fault party (or parties). If a brake failure accident was fatal, the surviving loved ones of the deceased may have a right to sue for:

• Their own personal damages pertaining to the death of their loved one;
• Any damages their loved one experienced between the accident and the time of their death; or
• Any damages the deceased’s estate incurred as a result of the accident.

Identifying Negligence for Brake Failure

If brake failure causes a truck to crash, the trucking company is the most likely at fault party for failing to maintain its trucks in a safe working condition. Some common brake problems caused by trucking company or operator negligence include:

• System out of adjustment (brake imbalance)
• Overheating
• Faulty suspension
• Hose kinking or chafing
• Inadequate lubrication

If the brake system was defective due to its design or manufacturing, the truck parts manufacturer will be considered at fault. The victim’s truck accident lawyer does not need to prove that the trucking company or truck operator was negligent if a design defect or manufacturing defect caused a truck accident. Instead, the legal team would present evidence that a design defect or manufacturing defect was the direct cause of the accident.

Our truck accident attorneys at Wisner Baum will help you identify the negligent party in your case. Then, they will work tirelessly to hold those responsible accountable for their wrongdoing and win you compensation.
