In addition to driver actions, commercial vehicle accidents can also occur because of a vehicle’s condition and state of repair, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

A design flaw, manufacturing defect, faulty brakes, worn tires, or any other vehicle-related factor could have contributed to your accident in addition to driver negligence.
