Fayetteville Wide Load Carriers Accident Lawyer

Fayetteville Wide Load Carriers Accident Attorney

Wide Load Carriers And Injury Accidents

We all have seen wide load carriers going down the highway. They often take up more than a lane of traffic and are often followed and preceded by trucks and blinking yellow lights.

Oversize truck accidents provide a special safety hazard for passenger vehicles. The carriers often transport farm equipment and other large machinery, which can become dangerous missiles in an accident. Careless drivers who fail to maintain their lane can sideswipe other vehicles that are trying to pass. Yet when it comes time to pay damages in a personal injury or wrongful death suit, trucking companies and their insurance companies often try to shift blame to the person driving the passenger vehicle. It takes a quality attorney to make them pay.

Responsibilities Of Trucking Companies When Hauling Wide Loads

Haulers of wide loads must follow specific regulations to keep our highways as safe as possible. These include:

• Ensuring wide loads are appropriately labeled
• Providing spotter cars before and after any wide load carrier
• Following all trucking regulations, including limiting driving hours to accommodate driver sleep schedules
• Appropriately securing all loads
• Driving at a safe speed
