Axle Failure

At Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, LLP, our attorneys have experience in handling cases involving axle failures. These cases occur when an axle either breaks or separates from one or both of the wheels on a vehicle while it is being operated. This is a very dangerous defect because the driver of the vehicle with the defective axle normally loses control of the vehicle and injures himself and/or someone else. Sometimes the vehicle with the defective axle will appear uneven or have some portion of the wheel and/or axle dragging on the ground after the accident.

If you or one of your family members has been injured in an accident where a driver suddenly loses control of a vehicle and is no longer able to steer it, you need an experienced automobile products liability lawyer to investigate the accident to see if the axle on the vehicle failed. If an investigation shows that the axle did fail, you need a lawyer with an established track record in handling axle failure cases to maximize your recovery. The attorneys at our firm have the experience and dedication to ensure that you receive the justice you are due.
