Ohio Truck Accident Responsibility
By law, commercial trucks must carry maintenance and Ohio and Kentucky trucking regulation compliance documents proving adherence to scheduled maintenance and safety inspections. After a Cincinnati truck accident, it is critical for your own legal protection to put these logs into evidence before they mysteriously vanish or they are changed. Unscrupulous truck drivers and trucking companies are often responsible for ignoring maintenance measures or repairs for driving safety and for trucks stopped off the road including:
- Tires and Rims – Bald, worn thread, under inflated air pressure, over inflated air pressure, improper tire for truck, bent rim, wrong rim for tire
- Mirrors and Lights – Incorrect number and placement to prevent blind spots, dirty or non-working lamps impeding visibility
- Brakes – Hydraulic and Air – Improperly adjusted, low pedal pressure
- Reflectors – Incorrect number on truck, tape thickness, cleanliness/visibility, incorrect distance and pattern placement of flares or reflective triangles behind trailer
- Overloaded and Unsecured freight – Falling debris, incorrect center of gravity, height and weight limitations for road conditions and overpasses
Manufacturer defects may also play a part in truck problems causing Cincinnati truck accidents. With preventative maintenance the truck driver or trucking company should notice defective pneumatic and hydraulic systems, transmissions, falling motors, tires, or electrical issues prior to the truck going on the road.
