Thorough Investigation and Aggressive Pursuit of Compensation
Almost immediately following a semi rollover or 18-wheeler accident, the commercial trucking company deploys a fleet of investigators, insurance representatives and lawyers to the accident scene. It is their job to gain control over the accident scene and minimize the trucking company's legal and liability exposure. It is important to have a skilled legal team on your side to ensure your interests are not compromised, especially if you have suffered catastrophic injuries.
In truck accident cases involving vehicles that have rolled over on the highway or jackknifed into other vehicles, our attorneys and investigators pay particular attention to unbalanced, overloaded and shifted loads. We investigate negligence such as:
- Failure to balance and inspect cargo before a trip
- Failure to properly train truckers how to inspect cargo balance
- Failure to properly load the truck
When a tractor-trailer's cargo shifts, it can be one of the most dangerous events that is inevitably bound to lead to an accident. If the negligence of the truck driver, trucking company or company responsible for loading the truck contributed to a shifted or unbalanced load or an overloaded truck, our Kansas City truck accident lawyers will pursue full accountability.
