Failing to load a truck properly can lead to the shift of materials inside the truck or on the road. When cargo spills or shifts happen, the end result is often a serious truck accident.
Truck drivers and hauling companies have a responsibility to ensure that a truck is properly loaded and cargo secured in order to prevent accidents from happening.
If a truck driver or hauling company fails to monitor the loading process it can lead to overloading which is illegal and also unsafe. An overloaded truck can tip over or put severe strain on the truck making it difficult to steer and stop.
If you or someone you know was injured in an overloaded truck accident, the experienced attorneys at Anderson & Cummings can help you obtain the compensation you need for medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Highway truck accidents often occur in larger cities such as Fort Worth. When such accidents happen, the consequences are often devastating due to the size and weight of these large trucks.
Big rig, or semi-trailer, accidents can happen for a number of reasons including speeding, cargo load shift, fatigued driving and more.
Struggling with the consequences of truck accidents can be overwhelming, victims may suffer severe injuries while trying to pay for medical expenses or lose income while they are unable to work.
Truck drivers and companies are required to have a certain amount of insurance in order to operate a semi-trailer. Although most drivers and companies obey these rules, some lack the coverage needed to protect themselves, their cargo and the needs of other drivers.
After an accident, it is crucial that all details of the collision are reviewed to ensure that the truck driver and the trucking company obeyed legal regulations. At Anderson & Cummings, we can help investigate the matter and determine whether or not you may be eligible to file a claim.
Our team of Fort Worth truck accident attorneys believe that truck companies and drivers have an obligation to follow the rules of the road. When these negligent individuals or entities fail to follow these rules, they should be held accountable.
