Queens Failure to Inspect Vehicles Attorneys
No amount of training or precaution will be sufficient for a truck driver well if his equipment is out of order and not regularly checked. A thorough investigation of the truck’s maintenance records, driver’s logbook, data collected by the truck’s black box and other evidence may reveal improper maintenance on part of the driver or his employer.
Equipment malfunctions can often lead to accidents, which may give trucking companies an incentive to cover up their mistakes and limit their liability. Make sure your rights are protected by speaking with a dedicated Queens truck accident attorney of Parker Waichman LLP, at 1-888-244-2273.
Causes of Equipment Failure
Insufficient maintenance of vehicles can often have consequences that outweigh the effort it requires to maintain them. Common causes of equipment failure often include:
- Overloading a truck
- Misleading a truck making it unbalanced
- Fail to check safety equipment and lights
- Brake failure due to inadequate adjustments
- Transmission failure
- Failure to fasten cargo
- Tire blowouts due to wear
A number of other factors can cause a truck to malfunction, and it is always a good idea to keep note of any evidence that might suggest one of these factors played a part in your accident.
