North Miami Beach Braking Failure

While brake failure can occur with any vehicle, large commercial trucks have more problems associated with brakes than most other vehicles. Partly, this is because big rigs and tractor-trailers put more pressure on their brakes due to their large size and heavy cargo. In part, it is because commercial trucks use air brakes rather than the types of brakes that passenger vehicles use. In any case, when braking failure occurs in North Miami Beach or when truck drivers use incorrect braking techniques, tragedy and devastation are the common result.

If you have lost a loved one or have been seriously injured due to a trucking accident or other traffic accident caused by braking failure or other forms of negligence, contact Flaxman Law Group through our website or by calling 866-352-9626 to arrange for a free case review.

Our full-service law firm can give you free legal advice in your initial consultation and can help you understand all of your options so that you can make an informed decision about how to best safeguard your future.

Why Do Braking Failure Truck Accidents Occur In North Miami Beach And Florida?

Braking failure is relatively uncommon with passenger vehicles and motorcycles, but unfortunately it is all too common with tractor trailers, big rigs, and large commercial trucks. There are a number of reasons why braking failure occurs with large trucks:

  • Overweight trucks may not allow a truck to brake in time
  • Manufacturer defects
  • Incorrect maintenance of breaks
  • Incorrect braking technique
  • Distracted driving
  • Fatigued driving
  • Drunk driving
  • Inadequate truck driver screening or training
Consulting with a Personal Injury Attorney After Your Traffic Collision

In most cases, bad braking techniques and bad brakes are considered negligent or reckless behavior and it is possible for plaintiffs to get compensation for their injury. No matter what has caused a braking failure and truck accident, you should seek legal help and legal advice about your situation. Under Florida law, you may be entitled to compensation that can help you and your family deal with the catastrophic costs that are common after a serious and unexpected injury.

If you have suffered catastrophic injury, such as paralysis, brain injury, spinal cord injury, fractures, head trauma, or other injuries, contact Flaxman Law Group to review every avenue of recovery for fair compensation.
