Who Is Responsible for a Brake Failure Accident?
There are numerous ways these types of accidents can occur. In some situations, a driver loses control over their vehicle when the brakes fail. In this situation, the manufacturer of the brakes or the technician who installed them could be at fault for your injuries and losses.
If the owner of a car strikes you and claims their brakes failed, you may also seek compensation against the manufacturer if defects are evident. In addition, the driver of that car could be liable if they failed to maintain their vehicle, and that caused your injuries.
Types of Brake Defects That Cause Accidents
Some of the most common causes of car accidents are brake defects and failures. They can happen in a number of ways and for various reasons, including:
- Improper installation of the brake or shift interlock
- Brake fluid leaks from defective parts
- Problems with the design or manufacturing of the brake drums, linings, pads, or rotors
- Defective electronic park brake failures
- Automatic brake pad adjuster failures
- Faulty rear brake caliper pistons
A full investigation determines who is at fault. That could be the driver and owner of the car, the manufacturer, a repair technician, or a third party. Hiring a Newnan brake failure accident lawyer becomes your best resource for getting fair treatment after such an accident.
How Our Brake Failure Attorney Works for You
These can be complex cases requiring significant research. Your attorney will need to determine who is at fault as a first step. That may mean bringing in experts who can provide insight into what occurred, why it happened, and what went wrong. For example, if other vehicles with the same manufactured brakes also have defects, that could indicate a much larger problem.
Our Newnan brake failure attorney will help you in several key ways:
- Determine what happened and gather evidence to prove it
- Identify all parties at fault in the accident
- Calculate all of the losses you have from the accident
- Negotiate a claim with the insurance company for the at-fault party
- Go to trial if necessary to recover fair compensation for you
Our experience in handling complicated cases like this can make all the difference. When you hire our Newnan brake failure accident attorney, you gain the support you need to seek fair compensation. We do not encourage you to settle your case with the insurance company until you speak to us.
