Many truck accidents that happen are the result of an overloaded truck or from materials that were not secured properly. Items that may get strewn onto the roadway include pipes, appliances, substances, chemicals, and falling logs, among other items. Our Morgantown overloaded truck accident lawyer knows that when trucks are not loaded safely, it can cause a serious accident on the roadway. If you or a loved one was recently in an accident with a commercial truck, we advise speaking with us the right way about your compensation. You deserve fair payment for the negligent loading of a vehicle that was supposed to be safe. Our Attorney Eric Hayhurst at Hayhurst Law PLLC is ready to get to work for you.
What We Assess Your Case
When evaluating your case, we will look for contributing factors and potentially liable parties to seek compensation from. Most drivers feel intimidated when in the presence of a commercial truck due to their sheer size and weight. If the truck is overloaded, it increases the risk of a crash, and the extra weight can make injuries even worse for those involved. Victims of truck accidents may endure severe to critical injuries that could even alter their health and wellbeing permanently. As our Morgantown overloaded truck accident lawyer explains, trailers can cause accidents due to issues related to:
- Tractor-trailers needing longer stopping distances, as more weight means the truck has to take more time to stop completely.
- Too much weight from the commercial truck can apply strain on the axles and tires, increasing the chances of a brake or tire blowout and the truck driver losing control over the vehicle.
- Trucks traveling downhill with too much weight can cause brake failure, since the brakes are only strong enough to safely stop against so much force.
How To Get Compensation For Injuries
Those who have been in a commercial truck collision may endure severe injuries and disabilities for the rest of their lives. We firmly believe that you should have never had to go through what you did. We use this perspective to strongly and relentlessly work on behalf of innocent victims who had their lives changed because of a careless person or party. How we get compensation for your injuries and other losses is by identifying who the liable parties are, and then unwaveringly pursuing maximum compensation for how you have suffered.
