Jefferson County Defective Truck Crash Attorney
By federal regulation, truck companies are required to pull regularly scheduled safety checks on their over-the-road tractor-trailers. Various system components, such as brake pads and linings, are required to be replaced after a regulated number of hours on the road and miles driven. Violations of maintenance requirements can lead to a serious accident that even the most experienced trucker driver has no control over. If a truck wreck resulting from improper maintenance leads to serious injury or death of someone on the road, the truck company and its subcontracted maintenance provider may be held liable for significant money damages.
If you were injured in an accident, or lost a loved one in a truck crash caused by improper or insufficient inspection or maintenance of the tractor-trailer, talk to an attorney at the Drake Law Firm as soon as possible. Truck accident cases involving maintenance and repair violations are often technical and complex, requiring an in-depth understanding of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations and Alabama state law.
