Houston Lawyers: Overloaded Trucks and Unsecured Loads
Trucks are required by law to follow proper loading procedures. Loads must be properly secured and comply with federal and state weight restrictions. When a negligent trucking company, independent contractor, or delivery truck driver is careless and drives with an unsecured load, other passengers traveling on the highway are put at risk and can face devastating injuries.
