Legal Help for Overloaded Truck Accidents in Houston

Government regulations have set maximum weight limits for commercial trucks. A typical semi truck's weight is not supposed to exceed 80,000 pounds. Unfortunately, some trucking companies overload their vehicles to deliver more goods and make more money. This can lead to catastrophic accidents on the road.

Unsecured cargo and oversized loads can be dangerous for many reasons:

• Cargo can fall out if a truck hits a bump
• Wind can cause cargo to fall
• Goods that fall on the roads can cause collisions
• Overweight trucks can be harder to maneuver

At McDowell Law Group LLP, we help clients who have been injured in accidents caused by overloaded trucks. Our Houston overloaded trucking accident lawyers are experienced at handling all types of truck accident cases, including accidents caused by unsecured or overloaded cargo. We can help you go after the compensation you deserve for your injuries or help you pursue a claim after the loss of a loved one in a truck accident.

Houston's Trusted 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyers

One of the leading causes of truck and 18-wheeler accidents is truck driver negligence. Trucking companies are heavily regulated, and truck drivers are expected to meet a number of safety standards. Unfortunately, this does not always happen.

The following examples of truck driver negligence cause countless injuries and unnecessary deaths each year:

• Driver fatigue
• Failure to secure load/cargo
• Overloaded/overweight loads
• Poor driving
• Drunk driving
• Speeding

Trucking companies are quick to deny any wrongdoing on part of their employees. They also have their own insurance companies who act quickly after an accident or collision happens.
