Your vehicle’s brakes may be the only thing to stand between you and a frightening car accident. Consequently, when you step on the brake pedal you want your vehicle’s brakes to respond immediately. And fortunately, they usually do. But vehicles do sometimes experience dangerous brake failures. While it is rare to get zero response from an automobile’s brakes, even something as small as a brake light failure can cause a nasty rear-end collision.

Some of the problems we have seen with the braking systems on cars, trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), minivans and vans include defective parking brake systems, improper installation of the brake/shift interlock (which prevents shifting out of park without pressing the brake pedal), malfunctioning hydraulic lines, brake fluid leaks and problems with brake drums, linings, rotors and pads.

If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of malfunctioning or defective brakes, it is crucial that you contact an experienced attorney immediately. Our dedicated injury lawyers can help you obtain all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This might include money for pain and suffering, emotional distress, medical bills and lost wages or other financial damages. Only an accident lawyer who has resolved many brake defect matters can decide the best strategy for handling your unique case.
