Cincinnati Negligent Truck Maintenance Lawyers

Cincinnati Truck Accident
Law Firm

When a truck accident happens, it is normal to focus suspicion on the truck driver. Was he speeding? Did he make an unsafe lane change? Was he driving while fatigued or drunk? While these and similar causes are often to blame for a truck collision, there are other causes. One of the most common is a failure to properly inspect and maintain the vehicle. Any automobile requires routine repairs, but this is particularly true in the case of semi-trucks. They have far more components than a typical passenger vehicle-for example, 18 wheels as opposed to only 4-and the equipment is subjected to much greater wear-and-tear with the cumulative effects of long hours of daily driving. If a truck driver or the trucking company does not perform routine inspections and regular maintenance, the vehicle is liable to sudden mechanical breakdown and can easily become a major safety hazard for everyone on the highway.

Fortunately, many of the trucking regulations that are enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) are directly addressed to this common cause of accidents. For example, one FMCSA regulation requires the driver to perform a vehicle inspection at the end of the day to find any possible defects, as well as inspecting the truck before taking it out on the road. The vehicle must be given a full inspection on an annual basis, and the trucking company is required to keep several different types of records of maintenance and repair.
