Overloaded Truck Accidents Far More Dangerous

Lightweight and normal-sized trucks can pose great danger to passengers and drivers who share the road. However, this peril does not compare to the vast danger that an overloaded truck can mean. There are a number of reasons why an overloaded truck can cause disastrous accidents. Overloaded trucks have a higher propensity to overturn and can be increasingly difficult to maneuver and control. Furthermore, an overloaded truck can be the source of flying debris and road blocks. Truck and car accidents caused by lost cargo and road debris can be very difficult to prove because of the inability to identify the truck driver. The personal injury lawyers of The Horwitz Law Group have represented numerous truck accident cases and are knowledgeable of Illinois’ truck regulations. An overloaded truck accident may have been a result of a violation of these regulations. Our experienced personal injury lawyers will investigate your case and fight to get you the compensation you deserve. Call (312) 641-9200 for a free consultation.
