How should I have this checked
New Link Destination
day, my son was in a car accident. He ran into the back of a car stopped at a
red light. He told me that the brakes suddenly stopped working. When the mechanic
in the tow truck came, I asked him to test the brakes to see if they were faulty.
He did, and confirmed that the brakes were not working. I just had the brakes
replaced 2 months ago at Firestone. How do I go about investigating if Firestone
is at fault for the brakes failing?

You (or your son, if he is 18 or over, since as an adult, he would have to bring his own legal action[s]) sue them. In the course of the lawsuit, there are mechanisms, called "discovery," to get additional information from them. And in any event, a lawsuit is the only way to get compensation, so you may as well launch it. You are grounds to believe that they are at fault, so you and/or your son can bring the legal action in good faith.
