Do You Have a Claim? Find Out from a Boca Raton Brake Failure Attorney

Brake failures can be extremely scary. They can also be extremely dangerous. When a car, truck or SUV’s brakes fail unexpectedly, the driver can be helpless to avoid a serious collision. In these scenarios, everyone involved can suffer serious injuries—and they can seek to recover their losses with the help of an experienced Boca Raton brake failure attorney.

What To Do After a Car Accident Involving Brake Failure

If you have been involved in a car accident and you suspect that brake failure was a factor, you will need to handle your situation carefully. While you may be entitled to financial compensation, you will need to take certain steps to make sure you are able to collect the financial compensation you deserve.

Most importantly, you should hire a Boca Raton brake failure attorney as soon as possible. Whether your brakes failed or another driver’s brakes failed, you will need an attorney to preserve the available evidence before it disappears. Your attorney can also determine what claim (or claims) you need to file and help you avoid costly mistakes while taking other essential steps on your behalf.

How We Handle Brake Failure Cases in South Florida

When you choose a Boca Raton brake failure attorney at The Grife Law Firm to represent you, we will take several steps to seek just compensation on your behalf. These steps include (but are not limited to):

1. Investigating the Accident to Prove the Brake Failure

Conducting a prompt and comprehensive investigation is crucial for proving a brake failure. We will examine the crash site, examine each vehicle involved in the crash, and work to collect any documentation we need (i.e., manufacturing or maintenance records) to prove liability.

2. Filing All Available Claims

Depending on the circumstances involved, car accidents involving brake failure can potentially give rise to multiple claims. These can include claims against:

• A Brake or Vehicle Manufacturer – If the brakes that failed were defective when they left the factory, the brake or vehicle manufacturer may be fully liable for the costs of your accident.
• A Repair Shop or Dealership – If the brakes failed due to negligent service work, then the repair shop or dealership that performed the work may be liable.
• A Negligent Vehicle Owner – If a vehicle owner ignored the need for maintenance or ignored warning signs of impending brake failure, then the vehicle owner could be liable. This applies to both individuals and companies. Many companies do not maintain their fleets as well as they should, and this leads to accidents that could (and should) have been avoided in some cases.

3. Calculating Your Losses and Fighting for Just Compensation

After determining that you have a claim, we will carefully calculate the total cost of your brake failure accident. This includes your current and future medical bills, loss of income, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. We will then fight to recover just compensation for your losses—negotiating a favorable settlement if possible and going to court if necessary.
