Types of Truck Maintenance Negligence That Can Cause A Truck Accident
Many things can go wrong with a truck that puts on as many miles as do commercial vehicles. This is why it is so important to inspect a truck before each trip and after each stop. Depending on who owns the truck it can be the duty of both the trucking company and the truck driver to ensure a truck is maintained properly.
Under federal law, truck drivers and their employers need to make sure trucks are operating properly. A violation of truck inspection requirements can lead to serious injuries.
Types of Negligent Maintenance of Trucks:
- Lights and reflectors
- Truck brakes, parking brakes, and brake couplings
- Steering mechanism problems
- Tire blowouts and tire tread issues
- Windshield wipers and defrosters
- Truck coupling devices
- Mirrors
- Inadequate rear or side underride protection
