Murrieta Unsecured Cargo Accident Lawyers

Lawyers in Oceanside for Truck Wrecks Caused by Falling or Shifting Cargo

Carrying billions of tons of goods each year, commercial trucks are a staple in our country’s economy. Even an empty truck is massive compared to the average passenger vehicle. When trucks are loaded, it is crucial for cargo to be positioned and secured properly. Cargo that is not secured or well-balanced can result in terrible accidents and significant harm to others. 

Maineri Law Firm has experience representing victims of truck accidents, including those caused by unsecured or falling cargo. We understand that accidents will always happen; however, we also know that policies and regulations are not always enforced or followed. We fight for the compensation our clients deserve when they have sustained severe injuries due to negligent drivers and transportation companies. If you or your loved one has suffered injuries in a truck accident caused by unsecured cargo, Maineri Law Firm can help. 

Accidents Involving Improperly Loaded Cargo

Unsecured, improperly loaded, and unbalanced cargo in a large truck can easily lead to disaster. Many factors may affect truck cargo, causing dangerous issues on the road. Truck loads may not be adequately covered or securely tied down, leading to items falling or breaking apart on the roadway. In some cases, the cargo simply scatters and makes a mess. In worse cases, cargo can hit other vehicles on the road, resulting in severe outcomes for those passengers.

Balance is another crucial component to properly loading and securing truck cargo. Even when cargo remains secure, its distribution can significantly affect how difficult a truck is to handle. A truck rollover or jackknife can easily occur after a minor steering correction when the balance of a cargo load is not prioritized.

Trucks such as semis and 18-wheelers are intimidating due to their sheer size and weight. Dangerous circumstances can quickly arise when too much cargo is loaded onto these trucks. For overloaded trucks, braking and slowing down in a timely fashion becomes increasingly difficult, and drivers of these trucks may be unable to avoid accidents.
