Baltimore Failure to Inspect Vehicles Lawyers

Semi-trucks and 18-wheelers are massive and potentially dangerous vehicles that require routine independent and state inspections to keep them in safe, working order. Everyday visual inspections are quick and easy, and they can catch problems like flat tires and dragging equipment before a truck driver gets on the road. Since such a simple measure can save lives and prevent disastrous accidents, there is no excuse to skip this important step before a truck gets on the road.

If a truck driver or trucking company fails to properly inspect the vehicle or vehicles under their control, needless accidents may occur. If you have been hurt by an improperly inspected semi-truck or 18-wheeler, you may be eligible for financial compensation to help with your pain and suffering.

Daily Inspections

Even when a truck driver has a schedule to meet, it can actually save time to perform a quick daily inspection on the vehicle before starting to drive. This way, if there is a flat tire, it can be changed in the garage rather than on the road. Things that drivers can easily inspect every day include:

The undercarriage to ensure that no debris or parts are hanging low
The condition of the tires
The proper function of blinkers, brake lights, and headlights
Proper starting and running of the engine

State Inspections

Just like regular cars, large commercial trucks must also undergo regular state inspections. Often, these can be simple tests for cargo height, weight, and length. However, formal inspections include checking things such as:

Brakes
Tires
Lights
Emissions
