Belleville Overloaded Truck Accident Lawyers

St. Louis, Missouri, Shifting Cargo and Overweight Truck Attorneys

When a truck or semi is overloaded with cargo or unsecured loads, serious accidents can happen as a result. Loose shipments and debris can fall onto other cars, motor vehicles and even pedestrians. There are regulations in place that trucking companies must follow in order to help prevent such accidents. When trucking companies fail to comply with these guidelines, they can be held negligent for any injuries caused.

Shifting Cargo and Unsecured Load Claims

The dangers of an overloaded truck, semi or tractor-trailer cannot be stressed enough. When there is too much cargo loaded on to a truck or the cargo is improperly secured, cargo is bound to shift and cause difficulties for the driver. Too much cargo makes it hard for truck drivers to brake, stop in time to avoid a collision or steer effectively. Cargo can spill onto the highway causing hazardous road blocks for oncoming traffic. Repeated overloading on a truck causes wear and tear and leads to other truck equipment malfunctions. These are all just a few things that can go wrong when a truck is overloaded.

The negligent overloading of a truck may have caused you or your loved one's auto accident injury. Serious injuries such as head, brain trauma and spinal cord damage require thousands and even millions of dollars in medical and rehabilitation costs. Our experienced attorneys will aggressively seek the compensation you deserve.
