Wausau Brake Defect Attorneys
Especially in urban driving, there are few maintenance concerns quite as important as keeping brakes in good working order. Without properly functioning brakes, stopping can require more time and distance that may not be afforded by stop-and-go traffic patterns. In the most extreme examples, truly failing brakes do not assist a vehicle in slowing or stopping at all, which is very dangerous to everyone sharing the road with that vehicle. Brake malfunctions create problems for safe driving, and put drivers and passengers alike in very hazardous positions.
If you have been hurt in a traffic accident that appears to have been caused by a defective brake system then you may be able to pursue financial compensation through a civil lawsuit against a negligent automaker or mechanic.

Faulty Parts
It is rare that a brake malfunction equates to complete brake failure. Instead, these defects usually come in the form of rapid wear, making the friction involved in the braking system quickly deteriorate those parts of the vehicle. Issues with brake defects can affect the following:
- brake pads
- brake lines
- the brake pedal
- brake shoes
- brake rotors
- brake drums
While these defects may not often cause catastrophic accidents, they can easily be recognized in smaller incidents that still cause minor injuries and necessary repairs. However, when these accidents are caused because of complete failure of the braking system, the results can be potentially horrifying. Without the ability to slow down, collisions can occur at unusually high speeds, as the driver is unable to slow down or brace for the impact.
