Austin Brake Malfunction Lawyers
Brake malfunctions are extremely dangerous defects for 18-wheelers. These vehicles are already heavy and large enough to require powerful brakes that take more time to properly deploy than a smaller vehicle’s brakes. A problem with brakes can drastically increase the necessary braking time or remove the driver’s ability to brake at all. As a result, any vehicle near the truck is at risk of being struck at full speed because of a lack of brakes.
If you have sustained an injury because of a mechanical defect with a large truck, we may be able to help you with your injury claim.

Brake Malfunction Dangers for Trucks
The massive size of a truck makes any collision with a smaller vehicle potentially catastrophic. With a large size and equally large weight, the force of impact with an 18-wheeler can easily destroy sedans and coupes. Accordingly, any motorists inside the vehicle are likely to sustain severe, potentially fatal injuries, leaving them in need for immediate medical attention in many cases.
The following problems may arise because of a brake defect with an 18-wheeler truck:
- Inability to stop or slow in traffic
- Inability to stop at a stop light or sign
- Inability to adequately slow down for a turn
