Causes of Brake Failure - Who Is to Blame?
Brake failure has one of three causes.


Brake Failure Due to Product Design or Manufacture Defect
The recent Toyota brake failures and auto brake recalls are an infamous example of brake failures caused by a defect in design or manufacture. If the product is designed in a way that encourages brake failure, or if a component of the brake is manufactured negligently, and if brake failure occurs, then the injured person may have a valid legal claim against the company that designed or manufactured the brakes or brake component. Such brake failure cases have been brought against major car companies such as Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Toyota.


Brake Failure Due to Mechanic Negligence
Non-accidental brake failure can also occur if a car mechanic unreasonably fails to check your vehicle's brakes during an inspection or repair of another automotive component. In such a case, an injury victim may have a valid legal claim if we can prove that the car mechanic was careless or negligent in failing to inspect your brakes.


Brake Failure Due to Failure to Properly Maintain a Commercial Vehicle
Commercial vehicles such as delivery vans and 18-wheelers must follow specific state and federal safety regulations regarding scheduled maintenance and hydraulic brake inspection. If a commercial trucking company fails to comply with the legally required maintenance schedule, and if a brake failure vehicle accident occurs as a result, then the injury victims may have a valid legal claim against the company responsible for performing vehicle maintenance.
