Mechanical Failure - Serious Car Accidents
When To Hire a Personal Injury Attorney
Today's vehicles as a whole are the safest they have ever been. Years of research and development along with untold amounts of safety tests have helped save many lives. Each year there are more innovations that are applied to the new model cars and trucks. Many of these innovations are safety related. However, even with all the great new innovations and new technology, vehicle parts will fail, there will be flaws that will show up as the cause of serious vehicle accidents. Recalls will continue and class action lawsuits will be prevalent.

If a person is a victim of a serious vehicle accident due to someone else's negligence, in Ohio and just about all other states, legal representation is necessary.

The law firm of the Eshelman Legal Group is a team of lawyers that have the experience that demands respect by both the court system and the insurance companies.

Common Mechanical Failures that Lead to Serious Car Accidents
- Faulty Brakes - Today's vehicles have a dual braking system which will allow half of your brakes to keep working even if you loose the function of the other half of the braking system. Anti-lock braking technology can also help if you need to make a sudden stop in the case of an emergency. Although it is rare, a new braking system can fail in some way. But if you have an older vehicle, it is very important to have your brakes and braking systems checked by a reputable professional certified mechanic.
- Tires - Tires are also very reliable today compared to years ago. Research and development along with better materials and technology have made tires very safe. As with anything that is made by man, it is subject to defects and failures. But with the many quality control checks in manufacturing, failures are rare. You should have your tires checked regularly for proper air pressure and tread wear. Have your tires and your alignment checked by a certified mechanic. Even with all the precautions that we take, a tire failure can still happen by an obstruction on the road. A piece of a rusty muffler can cause a puncture which can cause an accident.
- Steering and Suspension - There are many connecting parts in your vehicle's suspension and steering system. All these parts are adjustable and can wear out. A newer vehicle could have a faulty part which could cause a serious accident. Older vehicles may have worn parts or parts that need an adjustment. If let unattended, this could lead to poor performance which could lead to an accident. It is always a good idea to have your vehicle serviced according to your manufacturer's recommendations by a certified mechanic.
- Faulty Tail Lights or Head Lights - A large percentage of accidents happen at night when visibility is poor. Not having good working lighting on your vehicle could cause someone else to not see you properly. If your headlights are not working properly, you may not be able to see properly which could lead you into an accident. Make sure all your vehicle lights front and back including turn signals are working properly and that your headlights are adjusted properly.
- Wiper Blades - Driving in snow or rain can be challenging. You will need a good set of wiper blades to keep your windshield clear. Do not drive if you can not see properly. Most of us have a cell phone, call for help, do not drive when your wipers are not working properly.
