Pittsburgh Load Shift Accident Attorney

When the load on a semitruck or tractor-trailer shifts, it can throw the truck off balance and lead to devastating accidents. Loads that shift while on open trailers, such as those that haul timber, can fall from the trailer and crush nearby bystanders or motorists. Any load shifting accident – whether caused by incorrect loading techniques, overloading, failure to secure loads properly, failure to center or balance the load or any other cause – can lead to life-altering injuries or the loss of a beloved relative.

In these situations, truck companies and their insurance companies should be held liable for the harm they have caused. However, they will do everything they can to evade responsibility, so you need to turn to an experienced truck accident attorney to make sure they are held accountable for their actions.
