Cory Watson Attorneys are leading the nationwide investigation into GM brake defect accidents and are actively filing claims. If you are the owner of one of these affected vehicles, contact our product liability lawyers immediately.

General Motors Brake Failure: What Florida Residents Need to Know

Having your brakes fail while driving can be a terrifying experience, especially on busy Florida highways such as I-10, I-95, or I-4.

Brake failure could happen as you approach a busy crosswalk in beautiful and historic St. Augustine, Florida. In a GM truck or SUV with faulty brakes, the family trip to Disney World, SeaWorld, Daytona 500, Florida Gators, or Miami Dolphins game could turn deadly for passengers or pedestrians.

Bringing the Fight to General Motors in Florida

If you or a loved one in Florida is troubled by malfunctioning brakes in a General Motors vehicle, contact the brake failure attorneys at Cory Watson about your rights.

It shouldn’t take 113 crashes and 13 known injuries to acknowledge a safety defect. Car accidents caused by bad brakes result in serious, life-threatening injuries for everyone involved, and manufacturers often blame the driver instead of their faulty brakes.

You shouldn’t have to pay for a manufacturer’s negligence - call (877) 562-0000 now or complete the online consultation form on this page.

What are the Warning Signs of Defective Brakes?

The General Motors brake defect makes it difficult to stop: the brake pedal becomes hard, requiring the driver to use much more force to slow their vehicle down and stop before hitting another vehicle or pedestrian.

A few of the warning signs of defective brakes in a GM vehicle include:

  • Difficult to slow down
  • Delayed brake response
  • Hard brake pedal
  • Faulty vacuum pump
  • Vehicle warning light
  • Unusual sounds
  • Leaking fluid
