Falling Truck Cargo Accidents
Had an Accident Due to Falling Truck Cargo? Our Law Firm Can Help Recover Damages
Dallas is a city with a large amount of construction in addition to being a major crossroads for all manner of 18-wheeler transport. Due to these factors, we have lately seen many cargo-related accidents. These accidents typically involve cargo that has fallen from the back of a commercial truck, whether due to it being improperly secured, a collision knocking the cargo off the truck, or simply reckless behavior by the truck driver.
The physical injury and property damage that can result from these accidents is massive. Unfortunately, should you seek compensation for these damages, the legal difficulties you will encounter can be equally overwhelming without the help of an experienced Dallas attorney.
In many cargo-related accident cases, there are multiple defendants. For instance, if the cargo was improperly secured, the company that loaded the trailer might be primarily liable. This company is rarely the same as the one which owns the truck or employs the driver. If the straps and harnesses used to fasten the cargo were manufactured with some sort of defect, the manufacturer may be liable as well.
Oftentimes the defendants can be hard to find. Sometimes cargo will fall off of a truck and the driver won’t even realize it. Other times, the driver may realize but choose to flee the scene. In this case, the cargo must be traced back to the truck from which it fell and a team of investigators will be required to figure out why the cargo fell in the first place.
If the driver collides with an overpass, power line, or other stationary object on the road, the organization that planed the truck’s route might even be liable.
