Brake or Steering System Failure Lawyer

Fighting for Victims of Catastrophic Vehicle Control Defects

Brake and steering systems are the foundation of safe driving. When these systems fail, even the most cautious driver can lose all control of a vehicle in seconds. A defective master cylinder, brake line, steering column, or electronic power steering system can turn an ordinary trip into a catastrophic crash. These failures are preventable with proper design, manufacturing, and testing — yet automakers too often cut corners.


At McCartney Stucky LLC, we handle high-stakes product liability cases nationwide. If you’re searching for a brake defect lawyer near me or a steering system failure attorney near me, our trial team has the technical knowledge, expert network, and courtroom experience to hold manufacturers accountable.
