Poorly maintained truck brakes are the single greatest factor contributing to truck accidents. More than 29 percent of truck accidents involve brake failure, brakes out of adjustment, worn brake components, or other problems with the truck brakes.
If you have been injured because a truck's brakes were improperly maintained, please contact a truck accident attorney at Gordon & Elias. We represent victims of truck accidents in Texas.
The tire and brake assemblies of a tractor-trailer, require regular maintenance by highly skilled mechanics or they will literally fall apart.
Also, total brake system failures are rare in trucking accidents. It is usually brake deficiency that is the cause of a truck accident. The truck can stop but it takes longer to do so had the braking system been properly maintained. This is why so many rear-end truck accidents occur.
