Austin Overloaded Truck Accident Lawyer

Loading Negligence and Truck Accident Injuries Attorney

Trucking companies and drivers have a duty to ensure that loads are properly secured for transport. They must also comply with state and federal trucking regulations involving size, weight and other security measures. After an accident, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney who can identify the cause of the accident and pursue negligence claims involving loading negligence. At Colley & Colley, L.L.P., our attorneys are experienced in pursuing maximum compensation on behalf of truck accident victims and their families in areas near Austin, Tyler and throughout East Texas.

Maintenance, Driver Negligence and Improper Loading

Many highway truck collisions are not accidents, but the result of negligent loading. When heavy loads shift in a tractor trailer or a flat bed, the vehicle can be thrown off balance, causing severe dangers on the road, especially at high speeds. Truck drivers, trucking companies and shippers are responsible for avoiding these accidents by ensuring that the load is properly loaded and secured. Our attorneys will investigate cases and claims involving truck loading, working with appropriate experts to identify all responsible parties.

Our Austin overloaded truck accident attorneys handle cases involving:

  • Improper loading
  • Loss of control
  • Debris and collision
  • Overturning and jackknife accidents
