Overloaded Trucks
A semi truck without cargo is extremely heavy and requires a trained, attentive driver to safely operate. When trucks are loaded to capacity, they are even more difficult to operate. Overloading a truck is a dangerous practice that puts lives at risk. An overloaded truck is difficult to control and stop. The braking distance may be reduced to the point the driver cannot stop in time to avoid a collision. Additionally, the truck may be more difficult to control, leading to jackknife accidents or dropping the cargo on the road.
Unsecured Loads
Drivers must also take necessary measures to ensure their loads are properly secured. When the cargo is not enclosed, this is especially important. When a truck has an unsecured load, it can cause the cargo to drop onto the road, creating an immediate hazard for the other vehicles on the road. Responsible parties for unsecured load accidents can be the driver as well as the trucking company itself. Our lawyers have the experience and resources to identify all liable parties in truck accident cases.
