The police report shows that the accident was caused by mechanical failure on the truck. Do I still have a case?
Whenever you’ve been injured in an 18 wheeler accident, there are many potential causes that can lead to the wreck. Mechanical failure on a tractor trailer can be caused by worn tires, defective brakes, inadequate safety systems, or any number of causes that could have been prevented if the trucking company kept up proper maintenance schedules for their vehicles. These can all be grounds for an 18 wheeler injury accident lawsuit.
