Accident Caused by Improper Truck Maintenance
A commercial truck is not safe unless it is in proper working order. Federal regulations require trucking companies to "systematically inspect, repair, and maintain" all motor vehicles subject to its control. Trucking companies must retain all truck parts and accessories in a "safe and proper operating condition at all times." In that regard, drivers must complete a written vehicle inspection report at the end of each shift. Truck companies must retain maintenance records must be retained for at least one year (or six months after the truck leaves the company's control.)
Improper truck maintenance can result in traffic crashes and injuries. At Clark Perdue, our Ohio truck accident attorneys have the experience to determine whether improper truck maintenance contributed to a truck crash - and they have the experience to prove it in court.
