technical aspects of the handbrake

The circumstances of the handbrake failure raise questions about liability in the event of accidents. According to experts, it can happen that the handbrake loosens, which can then lead to an uncontrolled rolling of the vehicle. In such cases, it must be clarified whether the driver or the vehicle manufacturer is held responsible. It is important that vehicle owners regularly check the functionality of their brakes in order to avoid similar incidents. Further information on liability issues in handbrake failure can be found on the website of Kachur Rechtsanwälte.

statistics on traffic accidents are also important to develop prevention measures. This enables road traffic accident statistics to compile detailed information on accidents, participants and causes. This data serves as the basis for measures in legislation, traffic education and infrastructure planning, as explained on the website of Destatis.
