Coral Springs Brake Defects Attorney
Brakes are one of the most important safety features of motor vehicles. They can help you avoid collisions, follow traffic signals, and stop your vehicle in case of an emergency. However, if your brakes fail, collisions and other accidents are almost inevitable. While improper maintenance is sometimes a cause of brake failure, brake malfunctions are another potential hazard that is dangerous for you as well as other drivers nearby.
At the Law Offices of Eric G. Canter, P.A., we believe that automobile manufacturers have a responsibility to create safe, defect-free vehicles. However, sometimes these companies fail in their duties to consumers, leaving them with vehicles that have defective brakes. If you or someone you love has been hurt due to a brake flaw, you may have grounds for legal action. Contact an experienced Coral Springs brake defect lawyer from our offices today by calling 866-529-0022 to discuss your case.
Types of Brake Flaws
Braking systems have many different components, all of which can suffer flaws and other problems that negatively affect your ability to stop your car. For example, there may be leaks in the fluid or hydraulic lines, or the brake pads, rotors, and calipers may be weak or improperly constructed, preventing them from gripping and slowing your vehicle.
Signs of Brake Failure
While brakes can sometimes fail suddenly and without warning, there are also several signs of impending brake malfunction, including:
- Squealing or grinding noises when brakes are depressed
- Brake pedals that feel “soft” or unresponsive
- Vehicle pulling to one side as you brake
- Vibration in the pedals when you brake
- Difficulty accelerating after braking
If you notice one of these signs, it is important to have your brakes checked right away for damage or malfunctioning parts.
