Semi-trucks are engineered to carry freight. They can haul thousands of pounds of cargo from city to city, transporting vehicles, machinery, lumber, hazardous materials/chemicals, and other bulky loads. It is also common for these trucks to carry consumer goods, appliances, furniture, or even animals. Fuel – in liquid or gas form – is a common form of cargo as well.
Even without cargo, commercial trucks present a dangerous threat on the road due to their higher center of gravity, multiple blindspots, enormous weight, increased stopping distances, and problems with making turns. Bad weather and lack of experience can exacerbate these vulnerabilities. Truck accidents can cause enormous damage and devastating injuries, and adding cargo to the equation can make the outcome of a collision exponentially worse.
If you or a loved one have been injured in a truck accident due to someone else's negligence or recklessness, contact our trusted personal injury lawyers at Trust Guss today for a no-cost case evaluation.
