The Dangers of Overloaded/Unsecured Trucks
When a truck accident results in the truck jackknifing or rolling over on the highway, it is important to inspect the accident for signs of negligence. In many cases, these accidents could have been avoided if the truck had been properly loaded and inspected.
When trucks carry heavy equipment, timber, building supplies and other large, open loads, the loads must be properly secured. Falling debris can cause trailing vehicles to change course suddenly or crash directly into debris.
Trucking companies fight accident lawsuits aggressively and often send teams of investigators to the scene of the accident to gain control of the accident scene and limit the companies' exposure to liability. Our lawyers know how to find the facts in these cases to identify errors in loading, balance inspection and other factors. We aggressively pursue the facts to support our clients' claims and to help them pursue maximum compensation for their losses.
