Understanding the nuances of liability in overloaded truck cases is crucial for any business operating in the transportation sector. Accidents involving commercial trucks can have serious repercussions for the drivers and victims involved and the companies operating these vehicles. In situations where the truck is found to be overloaded, a common assumption is that the trucking company is immediately at fault. However, various factors can influence the outcome of such cases, making it essential for businesses to have a comprehensive defense strategy.

We have a proven track record of successfully defending our client’s interests and achieving favorable outcomes for their cases.

Liability in Overloaded and Improperly Loaded Truck Accident Cases
When a loading issue causes a truck accident, many individuals assume the trucking company is the only possible liable party. However, this is not necessarily the case. Your attorney will thoroughly investigate your case to identify all potential liable parties, including the following:
- Truck drivers: If the truck driver was trained to identify if their loads comply with regulations or willfully intended to cause harm, they may be solely responsible for the accident and any resulting injuries.
- Truck manufacturers: Sometimes, a malfunctioning part may be to blame for an improperly secured load. If a defect was the cause of the accident, the truck manufacturer may be held liable instead of the trucking company.
- Loading companies: Many trucking companies partner with contractors responsible for loading and unloading trucks correctly. If an employee of the loading company overloaded the truck, your company may not be liable for damages.
Our attorneys will investigate your case to determine the cause of the accident as well as who may be at fault. We will then build a strong claim supported by evidence to aggressively defend your business.
