"I was racially discriminated against by one of the largest banks in the country. I felt very strongly about filing a racial discrimination case against them, but I didn’t know the first thing about my options. I consulted with Mr. Yeboah about what had transpired and what I wanted to do. He very professionally gave me a rundown of the steps and possible actions that could happen in result of those actions. He never persuaded me one way or the other, but always assured me whatever my decision he would fight for me. Long story short, I filed the discrimination claim with the EEOC and later sued that bank with Mr. Yeboah’s help. He walked me through and communicated with me the whole way. There was even a time, where it looked unlikely that the case would go in my favor, and I considered dropping the case. But he told me to wait and let him see what he could do. He went back and forth with the bank’s legal team, again this being one of the largest banks in the nation, and he was able to negotiate terms that we all were happy with. He turned something into nothing by refusing to give up. When I thought that this whole thing was going to be a loser, he turned it around for me. He never stopped fighting for me, even though he knew the case was challenging. He set the expectation for me from the beginning. He never overpromised, but just kept me informed of the complete situation. I would recommend Mr. Yeboah and the Yeboah Law Group to anyone who wants a fighter and an advocate, who’s not afraid to go to bat for you, and won’t sell you a dream, but keeps you in the loop and...

"I was involved in an accident while in the United States visiting from Jamaica. I was referred to an attorney who then sent me to Mr. Yeboah. Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in about two weeks after I signed with Yeboah Law Group. He told me that cases usually take longer but Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case fast. Thank you Mr. Yeboah!"

Inadequate Maintenance and Inspection

Fort Lauderdale Truck Accidents Lawyers Discuss Collisions Resulting from Inadequate Truck Maintenance and Inspection

Protecting South Floridians’ rights to compensation for injuries from truck accidents

The federal agency that is charged with oversight for the commercial trucking industry is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The FMCSA has rules and regulations governing the safe transport of commercial goods by large trucks across our nation’s federal highway system. Keeping track of the maintenance and inspection of 18-wheelers and other types of commercial trucks is required by federal law. Deferring maintenance to save time or cut costs creates unnecessary hazards because a truck that has not been inspected could cause an accident because of a brake failure, tire blowout, steering problems, and many other kinds of equipment failures.

Yeboah Law Group has a team of Fort Lauderdale truck accident attorneys who are prepared to use their skill and experience to help clients prevail when they are facing the challenge of trying to obtain compensation after an injury in a truck crash. We protect our clients’ rights and we hold all the responsible parties liable for your injuries. We fight for you.

Federal regulation for truck maintenance and inspections

The FMCSA has regulations that govern the inspection, repair and maintenance of commercial vehicles, and drivers are required to keep vehicle inspection reports. Federal regulations prohibit vehicles from operating that are in a condition that is likely to cause an accident or a breakdown of the vehicle.

Trucks that fail inspections can be ordered off the road until the necessary repairs can be made and the truck re-inspected.

Types of truck accidents caused by negligent truck maintenance

It requires precision and a tremendous amount of braking power to slow down and stop a vehicle that weighs in at 20,000 lbs. or more. A small problem with a truck’s braking system can become a big problem quickly if they are not inspected and repaired in a timely manner. When you are driving, you have a feel for your car’s stopping distance when the brakes are in working order. With a large truck’s air braking system, even if the brakes do not fail, the driver can feel when the braking distance begins to increase, which can lead to a total failure if the brakes are not repaired.

Tires are not only what moves the truck, they are also a vital component in stopping the truck. Tires on large trucks must be inspected and changed as they begin to become worn because worn tires can cause a blowout, which can cause the driver to lose control of the truck and can even make the truck tip over depending on road conditions and speed when the blowout occurs.

Additional types of equipment failures that can lead to truck crashes include:

Steering systems
Lights and reflectors
Mirrors
Under ride guards

Truck driver’s responsibility in truck maintenance

Even if the driver works for a trucking company that works with a maintenance contractor, the truck driver is still responsible for knowing what is happening with the truck’s maintenance. They are responsible to keep maintenance and repair logs, and they are required to keep the trucking company or fleet operator informed of necessary repairs or failed inspections. If the driver fails to conduct an inspection, or maintain the required logs, and an accident occurs that might have been prevented with timely maintenance, they can be held liable for the damages suffered by those who are injured.

Who can I sue when I have been injured in a truck accident that was a result of negligent maintenance?

If the truck that struck you crashed because of a brake failure, and the brakes failed because the driver missed an inspection that would have revealed the unsafe condition of the brakes, you may be able to connect faulty maintenance as the cause of your injuries. Accidents caused by mechanical failure can be challenging to identify. Your truck accident attorney will likely have to hire an industry expert who can examine the brakes and the maintenance logs, and collect the evidence necessary to prove your case. In order to prevail in these kinds of cases, you must have compelling evidence that can tie the failure to conduct proper maintenance and inspections to the cause of the crash and your injures from the crash.
