Tennessee Truck Accident Lawyers
Bad brakes can significantly increase the stopping distance of a semi truck, making it impossible for the trucker to stop in time to avoid accidents. Uneven brakes can cause trucks to over turn or jackknife, as one side of the truck stops more suddenly than the other.
The braking systems of truck are complex and require routine maintenance. Air brakes require sealed lines, and a leak in a brake line could result in lack of pressure and brake failure.
Truck drivers are required to do a pre-trip inspection during which they inspect their truck for defects. When drivers fail to perform this inspection, brake defects can go unnoticed. In some cases, drivers will notice brake problems, but decide to go forth with the trip anyway to save money or time.
We have access to experts in truck brake maintenance we can call upon to inspect the brakes of a truck after an accident. We can also investigate the accident scene, looking at skid marks to determine whether or not uneven braking caused the truck to rollover or jackknife. Our attorneys will do everything in their power to help you build a successful case.
