Vehicle Maintenance
Neglect & Liability
Owning a car or truck is a big responsibility. You must drive in a safe, responsible and controlled manner and keep your vehicle in good, safe working order. If something serious happens, you may be responsible unless you can prove it was someone else's fault.
Neglect is what we are looking for. Was your vehicle neglected in some way that may have caused the accident?. Neglect as in your vehicle was not properly maintained by someone else. Did your brakes fail because the mechanic did not follow proper procedures? Did the mechanic skip a step? Did the mechanic or repair shop in some way neglect to properly service your vehicle. Could that be the root cause of your accident? Possibly.
Record Keeping
It is important as a vehicle owner to follow all the recommended scheduled repairs according to your vehicle owners manual. If your vehicle has any recalls, contact your dealer and follow the recommended actions necessary to fix these issues. Also, keep all your paperwork, receipts etc. Keep your paperwork in a file so you can easily access all of them for future references.
The Burden
You as the owner and driver of your vehicle must bear the burden of liability for your vehicle. If your vehicle fails mechanically in some manner and is the cause of an accident, you may be cited for failure to control your vehicle. Could your mechanical failure be traced back to neglect on your part or could it be traced back to a defective part? Was your vehicle recently serviced? Did the automotive repair shop improperly repair your vehicle? Did the repair shop neglect your repair in any way? If so, then they could be liable for damages. But it is still your burden to prove this.
As you can see, the situation for this type of accident can get complicated. All the important information pertaining to your vehicle needs to be gathered. All documents need to be studied. Questions need to be asked. Does the mechanic or repair shop have a history of similar situations?
To complicate matters, you and others may have suffered injuries. Medical bills start to mount. Family and friends are taxed with helping in many ways. Stress levels rise.
