Wheel Off Truck Accident

Depending upon the size of the truck, a single wheel can easily weigh approximately 50 to 100 lbs. So when one of these heavy wheels comes off while the truck is in transit, tragedy can ensue. A wheel that has come off can crash through a windshield seriously injuring or killing occupants. Or, a driver who is trying to avoid the road hazard can swerve and become involved in a crash.

It goes without saying that wheels should not come off while a tractor-trailer or other vehicle is going down the road. But, in a lawsuit, the victim must show why the wheel came off and who is to blame. There can be multiple causes for a wheel coming off including:

Poor maintenance to replace aged or damaged parts
Defective parts
Incorrect parts
Improper torque on studs or bolts

The cause of the broken wheel will control what type of lawsuit should be filed. For instance, if the wheel came off because of a defective part, then a product liability lawsuit should be filed. If the broken wheel was the result of a poor maintenance, then a negligence lawsuit should be filed on your behalf against either the owner of the truck or the maintenance company. At the Law Offices of John Day, our experienced team of truck lawyers will thoroughly investigate your case and ensure that all viable claims are pursued on your behalf.
