Sometimes, defective components cause some truck accidents. For example, a tire with weak walls might be more likely to blow out. A flaw in the truck’s fifth wheel could cause a jackknife. A faulty brake system might leave a truck driver unable to stop the vehicle in time. Connecticut law holds manufacturers responsible when they put defective products on the market. If an unsafe truck part caused the accident that injured you, you may be able to pursue a product liability claim against the manufacturer.
