Injuries in Aviation Accident Lawsuits

Trucks require larger than average vehicle machinery to ensure they run smoothly from point A to point B. One failure on the part of any little piece of equipment could jeopardize the entire system.

Some common defects that cause truck accidents include the following:

  • Brakes – When truck brake systems fail, the truck may not have time to sufficiently slow down.
  • Hydraulics – Failed hydraulics can affect the entire operation of the truck and result in injury.
  • Couplings – Defective couplings may cause a trailer to detach from the truck and cause injury.
  • Straps & Ties – Failed straps and ties could result in falling cargo and deadly accidents.
  • Steering – Steering mechanism failure could result in a jackknifed truck or vehicle collision.
  • Engine – Engine part failure may result in a loss of vehicle control for the driver.
  • Rear Guards – A failed rear guard could cause a car to be crushed if it rear-ends the truck.
Any of these little parts could contribute to a huge disaster if not operating correctly. Sometimes improper maintenance is to blame, other times the blame falls on the manufacturer. Determining which is at fault can be a complicated issue that requires help from lawyers who can consult with experts in the variables that contributed to the accident.
