TRUCKING ACCIDENT ATTORNEY
It is so incredibly important that truck drivers have their cargo properly secured, since many loads can weigh thousands of pounds. There are correct ways to load and stack cargo, and all cargo needs to be tied down properly. Serious accidents can result if:
- Cargo is not tied down properly
- Cargo is not properly balanced
- Cargo is not secured
- Cargo falls off the back of the truck because of loading errors
Cargo falling off the back of a truck is so incredibly dangerous and is a leading cause of catastrophic accidents and injuries. Truck drivers often carry heavy cargo that can be very dangerous if it is not secured properly. Different types of materials that may fall off the back of a truck include:
- Concrete pipes
- Intermodal containers
- Large boulders
- Lumber
- Metal coils
- Paper rolls
