If you think it is wrong for a rental company to give you a car with worn brakes and tires without any tread, you should feel especially offended when rental companies provide moving trucks in such conditions. Unfortunately, many Enterprise truck accidents occur due to just that— a rental company providing vehicles to customers that have no reason to be on the road. The Chicago trucking accident attorneys of Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC represent the victims of these accidents as well as drivers who unknowingly rent vehicles that are in the worse operating condition imaginable. There is simply no excuse for Enterprise and other large truck rental companies to act in this manner.
Rental Truck Drivers are Not Always at Fault for Accidents
It is true that drivers bear a lot of responsibility when safely operating their vehicles and this trust becomes even more critical when getting behind the wheel of a 10,000-pound machine that is capable of demolishing other vehicles in a wreck. Should the truckers involved in accidents be held responsible when they are given improperly maintained and defective vehicles, however? The truth of the matter is that Enterprise and other similar companies have been complicit in trucking accidents for a long time now and they often attempt to hide behind the drivers they rent their vehicles to when it is evident that the accidents were not entirely 'the drivers’ fault.
If you are involved in an accident involving a rented truck from Enterprise, it is important to seek compensation from the parties that are most complicit. It is hard to hold a driver liable if he made every attempt possible to maintain control of the vehicle during a tire blowout or if his or her brakes failed during an effort to reduce speed or stop. Ways in which rental companies are responsible for rental truck accidents include the following.
Both the manufacturer and rental company may share liability when it is revealed that these trucks have not been subject to regular safety inspections.
