Q: If the doge house failed to receive a part to fix my brothers break several times and he had a wreck is there grounds?
My brother went to the dodge dealership because his breaks were going out and he needed a part to fix them. They said that they would be in the next day (Friday) and when he went they told him they wouldn't be there till Saturday. When he went Saturday they said they had a system problem and had to replace the order and they should have called him, but the part wouldn't be in until Tuesday (Tomorrow). Today he was on his way home when a car in front of him pulled into the turn lane at the same time as him, to stop from rear ending them due to his lack of brake power he pulled back into the left lane and side swiped another car. Would he have any legal grounds against the dealership because they failed to get the parts he needed to fix his brakes? A police report was filed, the truck was my grandad's before he died and is in my grandmother's name.
A:
probably not. He can say he had a sudden emergency. He should refer all callers to his car insurance. But
to answer your question, if he was concerned about his brakes the law will say he shouldn't have driven.
