Brake Malfunction

Your car’s brakes play an extremely important role in keeping you safe. While seatbelts and airbags provide a method of protection in the event of a collision and are certainly vital safety features, brakes are constantly engaged in accident prevention. They help you to slow down and match the speed of traffic, navigate corners, stop at a red light or stop sign, and quickly decelerate when a vehicle screeches to a halt or an object is in your immediate path. Brake malfunctions can have serious consequences and are quite likely to result in a motor vehicle accident.

Dangerous Brake Failures

Depending on what causes the brake malfunction to occur, your case may best be directed against either the automobile manufacturer or the mechanic shop where you had it serviced. The kind of malfunction can give some insight into that decision, as those which are inherent design flaws (such as overheating in places on the brake disc or drum) and those that are likely due to a mechanic’s error (such as an improperly installed brake pad) are often distinctly clear. Then, you may be due compensation for:

• Automobile Repairs or Replacement
• Medical Expenses
• Pain and Suffering
• Court Costs and Legal Fees
