NEW YORK PERSONAL INJURY TRUCK ACCIDENT ATTORNEY- UNSAFE AND UNSECURED LOADS

 We have all experienced driving along a highway and approaching a tractor trailer carrying what appears to be an unsafe or unsecured load. If you have not, then drive along I-95 in the Bronx, New York or I-285 in Georgia on any day of the week and this will be a very common sight. The most common sight is the flatbed tractor trailer carrying huge rolls of cylinder pipes or aluminum. Another frightening sight is a flatbed tractor trailer carrying huge pieces of wood or lumber. Yet another common occurrence is that of a big rig carrying construction materials or equipment that are not properly secured or fastened. According to a local tractor trailer accident attorney, "truck accidents can be caused from unsecured or unsafe cargo on trucks or tractor trailers."

Normally, as we approach these trucks on the highway we all have the same thought; the cargo seems unsafe or unsecured!! What if the straps holding the load should break? What if the straps holding the load are not fastened correctly? Lawyer office in Illinois. What if the truck needs to stop suddenly, will the cargo rollover on me? If you are like most people, you nervously speed past the truck or tractor trailer and breathe a sigh of relief once you have safely passed. You then feel silly for acting "paranoid."

Drivers should not feel silly for the anxiety that they may feel whenever they pass tractor trailers with unsafe or improperly secured loads. As a matter of fact, several individuals are injured or killed every year in New York as a result of accidents caused by unsafe or unsecured cargo falling off trucks or tractor trailers. Even a cautious driver is limited in his or her ability to avoid an accident if the straps holding the load on a tractor trailer should break. Chances are that the falling cargo will roll off unto the adjacent vehicles. If you are lucky enough to avoid being hit directly by the falling cargo you will most likely be involved in an accident with the vehicles closest to you. According to a good New York truck accident lawyer, "it is almost impossible to avoid an accident if you are driving next to a truck or tractor trailer when its load falls."
