Unsecured Load Accident Lawyers
Holding negligent cargo loaders accountable.
If you've suffered a vehicle accident injury and you believe an unsecured load was the cause of the crash, you could be entitled to compensation. Unsecured loads that fall from trucks and other vehicles cause thousands of accidents each year in Texas. Evans / Reilley investigates these complex cases to identify every responsible party — from the driver to the loading dock.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations set specific requirements for how cargo must be secured on commercial vehicles. Violations of these regulations can establish negligence per se. We investigate whether proper tie-downs, tarps, and containment methods were used.
Unsecured load cases often involve multiple defendants: the truck driver, the trucking company, the party that loaded the cargo, and even the shipper. Each may carry separate insurance coverage, increasing the total available recovery.
Debris falling from trucks onto following vehicles, shifting cargo causing rollovers, overloaded vehicles losing control, and construction materials spilling onto roadways. Each scenario requires a different investigative approach.
