Cherry Hill Negligent Truck Maintenance Attorneys
Semi-trucks encounter a great deal of wear and tear. Long-distance truck drivers put many miles on these vehicles. Proper maintenance is absolutely crucial. Brakes need to be checked and tuned. Tires need to be replaced regularly. If maintenance is skipped or ignored, problems could be missed that lead to a serious truck accident.
The Ferrara Law Firm, LLC, has been standing up for the rights of injured people since 1972. Our skill and experience allows us to handle all types of trucking accidents, including those caused by negligent maintenance. This fact is demonstrated by the millions of dollars we have already recovered for victims throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.
Truck Maintenance Is Required
Owners of cars often take their vehicles to mechanics for checkups. This is not required by law. Owners of semi-trucks, on the other hand, are required by the rules of the trucking industry to follow a specific maintenance schedule. They must keep records of this maintenance, showing when brakes and tires, as well as other equipment, was checked, fixed or replaced. When we handle trucking accident cases, one of the first steps in our investigation is to get maintenance records and review them. What we frequently find is that maintenance has been skipped. This is a clear sign of negligence.
Poor Maintenance or a Defective Product?
A tire blowout could be the result of a tire not being maintained or replaced in a timely manner. It could also be caused by a defect in the manufacturing process. Our lawyers take great care to identify the difference between a maintenance error and a product defect, because that can make a huge difference in how the case is handled.
