When the cargo in a truck bed or tractor-trailer is not loaded properly, it can potentially spill out on the road and result in serious injuries to other drivers and passengers. If you’ve been injured due to cargo falling out of another vehicle on the road, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.– Dangers – Improperly-loaded cargo can not only affect the vehicle’s balance and maneuvering as well as the driver’s ability to handle the vehicle, but it can also spill out onto the road and result in accidents involving other vehicles.– Signs – Common signs of improperly-loaded trucks include: lack of proper covering for cargo; incorrectly- or unevenly-distributed weight throughout the trailer; overloaded cargo, which poses high risks of spilling as well as rollover accidents; and cargo which is not adequately secured with tie-downs.– After an accident – You need an experienced personal injury attorney on your side to ensure that your rights can be protected, the other driver is held accountable for negligence, and you can be compensated for your injuries and losses, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto accident due to another driver’s negligence, contact 844 See Mike for a free consultation.
