Charleston Truck Mechanical Defects and Malfunctions Attorneys

The driving experience is somewhat different for those truckers like you whose livelihoods are closely bound to the roadway. You spend more time behind the wheel in a week than some others do in a month, and few of those miles are traveled with your own purposes and destinations in mind. Unless you are an owner-operator working independently, you are at the command of a trucking company or van line.

While you are out carrying your load to its appointed goal, you are at the mercy of the truck given to you. Should a mechanical malfunction occur while you are on the road, your life, and those of other drivers, could be at risk.

Types of Mechanical Malfunction

Two significant types of mechanical defect or malfunction that tend to cause truck accidents are:

• Brake Malfunction
• Tire Defects

In either case, the resulting accident may leave you with substantial injuries, and depending upon your employer’s review policy, you may not be able to work until the cause of your accident is conclusively determined. The high cost of medical care and the financial drain of lost wages can impose hardship on you and your family, and it may feel as if you are without any form of recourse.

The Charleston truck defect and malfunction attorneys of the Steinberg Law Firm can help you seek the financial compensation you are due from the manufacturer of the flawed product and any other entities who share responsibility for your accident. You should have a reasonable expectation that the vehicle that you drive is safe, and when a failure of quality control violates that trust you may feel quite abused.
