Baton Rouge Overloaded Truck Accident Attorney

Louisiana Improper Truck Loading Lawyer

When you pass a heavily loaded truck, do you feel nervous? When it goes around a corner, are you under tons of shifting cargo? You would think that those loading a truck about to drive on an interstate or other busy roadway would exercise enough care to avoid truck accidents and keep others on the road safe. Shockingly, people are seriously injured every day by trucks losing control or rolling over due to improperly loaded cargo or oversize loads.

Many tons of cargo are behind the braking and steering systems of an 18-wheeler. An overloaded or improperly loaded truck places extra burdens on these systems, and tires, which can blow out and cause a severe truck crash.

Responsibility for Safety

Truck drivers are "professional drivers." You may have seen signs on the back of a trailer saying so and offering a phone number to report dangerous driving. Safety is a responsibility the driver must take seriously. Hiring responsible drivers is a responsibility the employer must take seriously.
