What “Mechanical Failures” Means
Mechanical failure crashes stem from equipment breakdown — brake failures, tire blowouts, steering defects, lighting outages. In commercial trucking, federal regulations mandate systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance, with records; failures are therefore rarely “accidents” and usually documentation of neglect.
Why It Matters in Your Texas Case
These cases multiply defendants: the carrier that deferred maintenance, the service shop that signed off, the manufacturer if a component was defective. McKay Law’s preservation demands freeze maintenance files, inspection reports, and the failed component itself before it disappears into salvage — then expert analysis converts the failure into its cause. A blowout is physics; skipped maintenance intervals in the carrier’s own records is liability.
