Truck Accidents Caused by Shifting or Unsecured Loads

Injured in a Trucking Accident Because of an Unbalanced or Shifting Load?

Many truckers will tell you that shifting and unbalanced loads are one of the primary causes of truck accidents. When a multi-ton load suddenly shifts and redistributes weight too far to one side or forward, bringing the 80,000 pound vehicle to a safe stop in heavy traffic may be impossible. Jackknife accidents and rollovers are common and can almost always be attributed to improperly secured loads or a sudden shifting of weight.
