New Jersey Truck Defect Accident Lawyers

Americans depend on commercial trucks to deliver the goods that are essential to everyday life. This means that we must share our roads with these large trucks. While most of the time this is not an issue, certain truck defects and malfunctions may make commercial trucks dangerous for regular motorists.

A commercial truck experiencing a defect or malfunction may lead to an accident that seriously injures others on the road. If you or someone you love was injured in an accident with a defective or malfunctioning truck, contact the New Jersey truck malfunction accident lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 1-800-346-5529.

Common Defects and Malfunctions

Semi-trucks often suffer from the same defects and malfunctions that more traditional automobiles encounter. These trucks are essentially just large versions of the automobiles that most Americans drive. As such, common defects and malfunctions may include:

  • Tire defects
  • Gas tank explosions
  • Brake malfunctions
  • Broken trailer hitches
  • Faulty air horns

Any of these defects may make for unsafe conditions both for the truck driver and other drivers on the road. In the case of defects, the injured individuals, which may include the truck driver and any other drivers he or she was in an accident with, may be entitled to financial compensation from the truck’s manufacturer or repair shop. If you are interested in pursuing such a claim, our New Jersey truck defect attorneys may be able to help.
