Faulty Brakes
Brakes are necessary to slow down a vehicle and, in many cases, to help avoid accidents. When brakes do not function as they are supposed to, drivers may find themselves placed in potentially dangerous situations which could result in serious injuries or even death.
Determining who is at fault for defective brakes depends on many different factors. For help determining who was at fault in your case, contact the New York City auto defect lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273.
Common Brake Defects
Since the primary function of brakes is to slow down and eventually stop a moving vehicle, brake defects usually refer to any abnormality that inhibits this function. These faults may arise in any part of the braking system. Generally, these errors include:
- Problems with the brake pedal
- Poorly manufactured brake pads
- Rotor, shoe, or drum defects
- Brake line errors
- Leaky brake fluid containers
Any of these errors can make stopping very difficult or even impossible. When drivers cannot stop their automobiles, they are at greater risk for crashing into their fellow motorists or into other individuals or structures near the road.
Individuals who suffer injuries because of defective braking systems may be entitled to financial compensation for their injuries.
