When Are a Vehicle’s Brakes Considered Defective?

Brake defects can take a number of different forms. In most cases, brake failures result from flawed engineering (known as a “design defect”), or from flaws in the manufacturing process. However, brakes can also fail as a result of faulty maintenance work by a repair shop or local dealer; and, when investigating an auto accident involving a brake failure, it is critical to identify the specific cause of the failure so that the correct party can be held responsible.

Common issues resulting from brake defects and faulty brake jobs include:

• Antilock system failure
• Brake pad failure
• Brake rotor failure
• Cracks and leaks in brake lines
• Electrical or brake system malfunction
• Hydraulic brake or air brake failure
• Other types of brake failures

If you were injured in a collision caused by another vehicle’s brake failure, it is also important to assess whether the other driver holds some accountability. Did the other driver know that his or her brakes needed maintenance? Was there something the other driver could have done to avoid the collision despite the brake defect (for example, not following too closely) In cases of brake failure, there are often multiple factors involved, and identifying all of the responsible parties is the key to maximizing your financial recovery.
