Minnesota Injury Lawyer for Brake Defects
Most people take their brakes for granted until the brakes start screeching, but these auto parts are some of the most important parts of a motor vehicle. When your brakes help you avoid an accident, it is easy to see just how critical the ability to stop is. Unfortunately, brakes do sometimes fail, resulting in dangerous, if not deadly consequences. If you or a loved one has been in a car accident caused by brake failure, the manufacturer or a repair shop may be responsible. Please call a skilled Minnesota personal injury lawyer to see if you have a product liability case against either of these parties.
If your brakes were well maintained, but their failure caused an accident, you might not be at fault for the crash. If you recently brought the car into the shop for brake maintenance, the shop or brake manufacturer may instead be liable. When the shop has failed to properly replace the car parts, they are responsible for any injuries caused. If the brakes themselves had a critical defect that prevented them from working properly, the manufacturer would be at fault. Your Minnesota personal injury attorney can help you investigate these cases to identify who is responsible.
Our Personal Injury Attorney Litigates All Types of Brake Defects
The most common brake failures include ABS problems, brake-line defects, fluid leaks, and broken hydraulics. Many of these issues are the responsibility of a repair shop to test and repair while your car is being serviced.
Unfortunately, if your brakes did fail, you may still be liable. If you did not attempt to stop during the accident, the brake failure would not be responsible for your crash. The brake failure only matters if it caused the accident or made the crash worse. Your Minnesota personal injury lawyer can help you understand this distinction better if you have any concerns.

"I needed the direction and Christopher Hoffer provided that. He is very calm, well organized, and very capable. I still have pain from the car accident today but he helped me get a settlement from the insurance company to cover auto and medical expenses and was very supportive. He did a great job for me and he'll do the same for you." – Marv O.
