Could my truck accident have been caused by mechanical failure?

Answer:

While your car only requires sporadic maintenance and irregular trips to the mechanic, commercial trucks in Texas need to undergo regular safety checks. Because of their heavy daily use and because of their size and weight, big rigs need extra attention, especially when it comes to the tractor-trailer’s brake system. Texas trucking companies and truck drivers who attempt to cut corners and save money may attempt to illegally skip regular safety checks – but all too often this violation of federal trucking laws leads to 18-wheeler accidents caused by mechanical problems and mechanical failures.
