Jefferson County Overweight Load Attorney
Trucks are under strict state and federal regulations not to exceed load weight restrictions for their class of vehicle. In addition, loads must be distributed and secured on trailers according to specific regulations. The most serious types of catastrophic injuries and fatalities resulting from truck accidents are often caused by improperly secured loads or trailers that cannot be controlled because of load imbalance. Violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) load restrictions and regulations can lead to injuries and fatalities in truck accidents and are the responsibility of the truck owner, as well as the party responsible for loading and securing the product at the dock.
If you were injured in a truck accident in Alabama, or anywhere in the nation, caused by an unsafe or overweight load, the Drake Law Firm is ready to help you fight for fair and just money damages for your injuries and financial losses.
