WHO IS RESPONSIBLE IF A TRUCK IS POORLY MAINTAINED?


One of a trucking company’s many responsibilities is to ensure its vehicles are properly maintained and safe to operate. These are massive vehicles with countless moving parts, and they require regular, rigorous maintenance to ensure they don’t put anyone in danger.

A failure to maintain a commercial truck is thus a breach of a company’s legal duties, and it can result in severe liability if it results in a truck accident.

One of the difficulties in these cases is proving the link between the shoddy maintenance and the accident that hurt you. Truck accidents often have many proximate causes, and opposing lawyers will often argue that the crash was a result of some other factor.

We know how to conduct a thorough investigation that establishes the real cause of your accident. If poor maintenance was a factor, you can count on us to make a compelling case demonstrating this.
