Proper car maintenance is arguably the most critical step each driver must take to minimize the risk of car accidents caused by a poorly maintained car. And just because your vehicle is adequately maintained it does not mean that all other vehicles, which share California roads with you, are properly maintained. Do note, however, that car drivers cannot be held responsible for each and every malfunction in their vehicle. Drivers are held liable for poor vehicle maintenance only when they knew or reasonably should have known about the malfunction. Have you recently been in a car crash and have a reason to believe that your or the other party’s vehicle was poorly maintained, which caused the accident?
