New Jersey Failure to Maintain Vehicles Lawyers

Through regular use, all motor vehicles are subject to wear and tear. Commercial trucks typically cover more miles, spend more time on the roadway, and are subjected to greater physical demands than the average passenger vehicle. Accordingly, they require careful and regular maintenance to protect against dangerous mechanical failures.

Unfortunately, many truck companies fail to keep their trucks properly maintained, and serious motor vehicle accidents can occur as a direct result of this negligence. If you have suffered injuries in an accident with an 18-wheeler, contact the New Jersey failure to maintain vehicles lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529 today.

The Hazards of Poorly Maintained Trucks

Drivers who share the road with commercial trucks can suffer greatly when these trucks have not been maintained. There are several parts of a truck that may wear out, and because of the weight and size of trucks, some of these parts may be prone to wearing out quickly.

Failure to maintain a truck may result in:

  • Catastrophic tire blowouts
  • Brake failure
  • Trailers and loads coming loose
  • Burnt out head and tail lights

These failures can cause a truck driver to lose control of his or her vehicle or may prevent other motorists from observing the presence or braking of a semi-truck. In either case, the potential for serious traffic accidents is needlessly increased.
