Faulty or Defective Vehicle Maintenance, Driver Error and Fatigue

Keeping the Driver's Best Interests in Mind

To ensure the safety of the truck driver and the safety of other drivers and vehicles on the streets and highways, a truck driver and his company is expected to ensure that the truck is properly maintained. A truck driver and his or her employer should ensure that the following are properly inspected and maintained on a regular basis:

• Brakes
• Tires
• Weight
• Lights
• Reflectors

A large percentage of truck accidents are caused by lack of maintenance of the truck, trailer or tractor. Everything from brake problems to overweight vehicles and driver fatigue can have an enormous effect on the safety of the motoring public.

In the event of an accident, it is important to hire experienced legal representation who understands and is knowledgeable of all state and federal motor carrier safety regulations.
