Manufacturers of semi trucks and truck components have a legal duty to design, manufacture and assemble safe products. Should they fail to meet this duty, they may be liable for injuries caused to a trucking accident victim should a faulty truck or failed truck component be the factual and legal cause of an accident. When a semi-truck or a component on a semi truck fails during transport, an accident could happen with titanic results.
Faulty brake components, tires, hydraulics, coupling systems, hitching systems, locks and load straps are common causes of trucking accidents related to faulty truck components. The manufacturer of the truck and the manufacturer of the faulty component may be liable under the legal theory of product liability. Moreover, if the manufacturer and/or the component manufacturer recalled any of these products but the trucking company did nothing to replace them, the trucking company itself may also be liable [as well] and ultimately responsible for any injuries.
