Improper Maintenance
Representing the Injured in Nevada
Commercial trucks are subject to strict standards for inspection, maintenance, and repair. Failure to meet federal and state service standards is a serious offense that can have tragic, or even fatal, consequences.
When truck accidents are caused by improper maintenance, the Las Vegas truck accident lawyers at Richard Harris Law Firm can help establish who's to blame—trucking companies, maintenance contractors, drivers, or all parties.
Common Maintenance Problems and Related Accidents
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations and Nevada state laws require regular examination of truck components. Drivers must also complete written inspection reports at the conclusion of each shift worked. Failure to do so may result in:
- Brake failure
- Disabled signal lights
- Rollovers
- Tire blowouts
- Trailer detachments
If negligent maintenance was a factor in your accident, we believe the responsible parties should be held accountable. The truck accident lawyers at Richard Harris Law Firm work hard to make sure you are treated fairly. Call us at (702) 444-4444 or fill out a free initial consultation form today.
