Brakes are one of the most important devices to protect drivers against accidents.
When they fail due to a defect or some other problem, the driver and any passengers could be seriously hurt in an accident.
In many of these cases involving brake defects, the driver is not responsible for any car damage or injuries caused by the accident.
Burden of Proof If a driver believes that break defects were responsible for an accident, then that driver must show that the brakes failed due to a specific defect caused by the brake manufacturer or distributor.
In some cases, the brake failure, however, may be due to normal wear and tear.
In such circumstances, the responsibility typically belongs to the car owner.
The car owner bears this burden because that owner is required to maintain his or her brakes regularly.
Defective brakes are often the result of careless or negligent manufacturing.
Examples of negligent behavior include the following:

• The use of low-quality parts.
  
• Low standards of inspection in the manufacturing process.
  
• Damage caused to breaks during delivery.
  
• Poor installation in the car.
  

The burden for the defect brakes depend on the type of negligence.
For instance, if the brakes are poorly installed, the burden does not fall on the brake manufacturer but the car manufacturer.
