What Happens When A Car's Brakes Fail?

There are numerous ways in which automobile accidents can occur. For example, an individual could be playing on his or her phone, not paying attention to the roadway, only to swerve into another lane side-swiping another vehicle. Drivers also partake in other distracting acts such as eating, applying makeup, or even reading while behind the wheel. These activities might lead to the running of stop signs or red lights. As such, these operators might find themselves mixed up in a T-bone or rear-end collision.

Then again, a driver and passengers could be playing around. Thus, keeping the motorist's attention off the road. In turn, they could slam into a parked car or a stationary object. However, sometimes, persons inside the vehicle are not to blame for the incident at all. Instead, a defective or malfunctioning part causes the crash. So, why should an individual have to be responsible for paying medical and other expenses associated with the event?

The short answer is, they shouldn't. Rather, when a manufacturer is at fault for injuries sustained in a collision, the individual needs to consider contacting a car crash lawyer to seek compensation for his or her wounds. Bills can start to pile up in a hurry when a person is simply trying to recover. There are everyday expenses as well as doctor, prescription, and therapy costs. Hence, curious Floridians should contact our office for a free case review to find out where their claim stands today.

Legal teams representing manufacturers or sellers don't have the victims best interest in mind. Their primary concern is to prevent the client that they serve from paying out a substantial sum. These attorneys attempt delay tactics in hoping that the victim runs out of money and has to settle for a small monetary figure. Additionally, they offer low ball settlements just to see if the individual will accept it. So, put a proven commodity in your corner to combat these techniques. Our office serves the areas of...

Give Us A Call If This Recall Caused Your Inflictions



General Motors has not yet revealed a time frame for recall number N192268490. However, they may need to speed up the process as the amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time. What does that mean exactly? Well, when the level drops, increased braking effort may be required, meaning the vehicle will need extra space to stop safely. Also, the brake assist feature might fail to work correctly. In other words, the risk of crash increases.

The models in question are 2015-2018 Chevrolet Suburbans, Tahoes, and GMC Yukons. 2014-2018 GMC Sierra and 2014-2018 Chevrolet trucks are involved too. Lastly, but certainly not least, 2015-2017 Caddilac Escalade vehicles are part of the equation as well. In total, there are a potential 3,456,111 autos affected.
