Driving down the road every day we see semi-trucks, 18-wheelers and tractor-trailers that appear to be carrying a heavier loads of supplies than the truck can handle. The truck driver may even be speeding, driving recklessly or not paying attention to the road. When an overloaded truck collides with an automobile, it can cause catastrophic injuries to the victims in the car.
Overweight Truck Wreck Attorneys in Dallas
Truck drivers are often paid more depending on the amount of shipment they deliver. This can be a shipment of materials, equipment, food or even chemicals. When a truck is overloaded, it is more prone to having equipment that malfunctions, breaks or does not run properly. The truck’s tires could burst, the equipment retaining the shipment could break, or the truck driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause a wreck.
