Determining Liability in a Brake Failure Accident

According to Florida Statute §316.261, every motor vehicle must be outfitted with properly functioning brakes. This includes service brakes, parking brakes, and brakes on all wheels. Depending on the circumstances that led to your accident, you may be able to hold more than one party accountable for your damages.

Some parties who may share some level of responsibility for your accident include:

Your Car’s Mechanic

You can hold the mechanic who worked on your car liable for your brakes’ failure if they performed subpar work. They may have even damaged other parts of your vehicle while installing your brakes.

If your accident happened due to a failure related to mechanical installation, you may be able to hold the mechanic and the company they work for responsible for your damages.

A Car Dealership

If you bought your car from a dealership, and they knew that the brakes were either faulty or defective, you may be able to pursue compensation from this party. You may be able to hold the dealership responsible under the American Bar Association’s (ABA) principle of negligence or strict liability.

The Manufacturer of the Brakes

Car manufacturers must ensure that their products are safe before putting them on the market. If they sell a car without rectifying potentially defective parts, they may be considered negligent. You may be able to recover compensation through a product liability claim.
