Fleet Maintenance

Was the truck adequately maintained?

Federal and state rules on inspection, repair and maintenance of 18-wheeler trucks require that regular safety checks be conducted and that records of maintenance must be kept in maintenance logs.  When a 10,000-plus pound truck is not properly maintained, accidents can occur with deadly results.  These are accidents that should never have happened if the truckers were obeying the law.

If you or a family member has suffered serious injury because of a semi-truck accident, Dinizulu Law Group, Ltd., can pursue compensation for your injuries suffered in the Chicagoland area and throughout Illinois.

Of utmost importance in a truck accident claim is immediately investigating the cause of the accident and preserving any evidence that may have contributed to the accident.  Our semi and tractor-trailer accident lawyers call on respected, trustworthy investigators and accident reconstruction experts who seek clues indicating carelessness or negligence on the part of the maintenance company, the trucker or the truck company.

How maintenance issues contribute to accidents

Issues of fleet maintenance that can contribute to the cause of an accident include—

• Faulty brakes
• Under-inflated or worn tires
• Defective equipment
• Improper lights or reflective tape
• Unbalanced loads or overweight loads (18-wheelers can carry a maximum of 80,000 pounds) and shifting or unsecured loads
