Our Michigan truck accident lawyers perform a thorough and detailed investigation when investigating a lawsuit for a truck accident victim.  To properly do this, we look to all of the potential causes of a truck accident.  This requires a careful anaylysis of the investigation report, witness interviews, photographs, and trucking company records.

One common cause is the improper loading of the truck. An improper truck load is typically one which the load is too heavy for the truck and trailer or one in which the loading is not properly balanced.  These both affect the truck driver’s ability to stop and control the truck, especially when it comes to applying the vehicle braking system.

There are federal and state trucking regulations that specify truck load weights and provide requirements for the proper loading of trucks. A complete and thorough investigation of the vehicle log, cargo weight, and other specifications is necessary to prove the causes for the accident.  Many times, it is the truck load along with driver fatigue and other factors that cause the accident.  Because the injuries caused by truck accident are typically catastrophic, it is important to hire an experienced truck accident attorney as soon as possible after the accident to begin the investigation.
