Pembroke Pines Overweight / Overload Trucks
Overloaded trucks, incorrectly loaded cargo, and other cargo issues are a serious danger on our roads. Each year, people are seriously injured and even killed in trucking collisions in Pembroke Pines and across Florida because truck carriers, loaders, and truck drivers fail to obey federal rules regarding cargo on eighteen wheelers, big rigs, and other commercial trucks.

Trucking Collisions Lead to Catastrophic InjuryA serious truck accident caused by overloaded or overweight cargo can cause severe injury, including:
- Paralysis
- Amputation
- Brain trauma
- Spinal cord injury
- Fractures
- Crushing injury
- Whiplash
- Soft tissue injury
- Internal injuries
- Fatalities
- Disfiguration
- Burns
Unfortunately, overweight and overloaded trucks are not only more likely to cause an accident, but they are also more likely than lighter trucks to cause severe injuries and fatalities. Dangerously overweight trucks create much more force upon impact and are harder to control than other commercial trucks. This can mean that a truck driver is not able to make any maneuvers to avoid the impact and it can mean that the heavier cargo can generate enough force to cause devastating injury.
Seeking Assistance After a Traffic Collision in Pembroke Pines or Your CommunityIf you have been injured, you may seek compensation from a legal claim or from a settlement offered out-of-court. In any event, it is important that attorneys prepare for a full-on trial. Preparing for a trial helps attorneys gather all the evidence they need to negotiate with insurance carriers or plaintiffs and to prepare a strong case in the event that the case does go to court. If you have been injured, it is important to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney so that you can take the steps needed to protect your interests.
