Handle Defective Truck Equipment Cases

In many truck accidents, the truck driver made a decision to break traffic laws or violate trucking safety standards. What happens when the driver takes every safety precaution, but the truck equipment is defective or fails to do its job? What can an injured person do to get the compensation he or she needs for serious injuries?

At The O'Quinn Law Firm, attorney John Leach has spent more than 20 years helping people who were injured in truck accidents that were caused by defective truck equipment and parts. Our firm is ready and able to perform the thorough accident investigation that is needed to uncover defective truck equipment.

Types of Defective Truck Equipment

Some of the more common truck equipment defect lawsuits we handle include those involving tire blowouts or brake failures. However, with so many important safety mechanisms and parts involved, almost any part can cause an accident if it is defective. We handle defective truck equipment and products liability claims involving:

• Defective tires, causing tread separation and tire blowout
• Underride bar defects, failing to prevent cars from going under the truck
• Air brake malfunction or failure, causing the truck to run out of control or stop suddenly
• Steering equipment defects, preventing safe operation of the truck
• Defective straps and tie downs, causing loads to shift or fall off
• Improperly designed trailer hitch, coupling, or safety straps, allowing a trailer to come loose

These product liability cases can be complex; the manufacturer, designer and several parties responsible for defective truck equipment may be named in a lawsuit. The truck driver or trucking company may also share some of the blame.

At The O'Quinn Law Firm, we strive to help you get the full compensation you need through claims against all potentially liable parties. Our personal injury attorneys can take on large equipment manufacturers, and we have a strong reputation for success.
