Wide Load Accidents and Piggy-back Truck Accidents

Injured in a Wide Load Accident with a Truck in Ohio?

There's no question that commercial freight trailers are trying to do everything possible to maximize their profits on every load they haul. Wide loads are becoming more and more frequent and piggy-backed trailers towed behind truck cabs are starting to fill our highways. Driving in the adjacent lanes or following a piggy-back trailer puts driver's lives at risk.

One of the dangers of wide loads and piggy-back trailers is the increased stopping time required to bring the heavy vehicles to a stop. In the event of a sudden swerve to avoid a road hazard, the extra weight pushing from behind makes steering difficult and stopping in a timely manner almost impossible. Truck drivers who are not trained to handle the special circumstances and conditions put everyone on the road in danger.

If you were injured in a truck accident involving a wide-load or piggy-back semi tractor trailer, talk to an attorney on the Ohio truck accident team at Caravona & Czack right away. Our AV rated* attorneys have more than 100 combined years of experience investigating complex personal injury and wrongful death accidents involving commercial trucks and violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. We move quickly to interview witnesses, gather physical evidence and protect log book and 'black box' technical data from being lost or manipulated by trucking company representatives.
