Trucking accidents are a far too common threat on the roads in Texas, especially since most trucking accidents occur on rural roads. Many of these accidents are due to defective trucking equipment like poor truck maintenance and equipment defects or failures.  Defective trucking equipment can cause serious car accidents which can result in catastrophic injuries, all of which lead to loads of medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

If you or a loved one has suffered from a car accident with a truck due to defective trucking equipment or equipment failure, you need a lawyer to be on your side and represent your interest against these large companies.  The lawyers at the McMinn Law Firm are experienced in trucking and car accident cases and we want to help you obtain the justice you deserve.

Many problems can arise with truck maintenance, such as:

·         Steering failure

·         Brake failure

·         Tire failure or blowouts

·         Carrying a load that is overweight or overloaded

·         Carrying a load that has been improperly balanced

·         Faulty seat belts, seals or holes

Weak trucking equipment can be weakened even more by improperly loaded cargo, leading to possible accidents on the road. Innocent victims need to be represented against trucking companies who hold responsibility for the safety and maintenance of these trucks on the highway. These trucking companies are legally supposed to maintain adequate inspections and maintenance of their trucks on a consistent basis as well as keep maintenance logs to track and assure proper truck operation.

The lawyers at the McMinn Law Firm understand the daily hazards innocent drivers face just by driving on the highways, and we want to be there for you or someone you know who has been affected in a car accident or truck accident.  Defective trucking equipment is a fatal danger on the road, one that is highly preventable, and we will fight to obtain your compensation and justice in a trucking accident case.  Our attorneys will investigate each truck and car accident for every detail and gather all the evidence to determine what led up to the accident. Let the McMinn Law Firm help you so you do not have to go through this whole process alone.
