When a truck is loaded and driven properly, there is little risk of cargo spilling out. But trucking companies and their drivers often cut corners to save time and make more money. This means cargo spills happen far more frequently than they should. As experienced truck accident lawyers, we have worked with many cargo-spill victims over the years. The most common causes of these spills include:

Negligent driving: When a truck driver takes a turn too quickly, doesn’t give himself enough time to stop, or merges without checking his blind spots, he runs the risk of causing a cargo spill.

Rollovers: Trucks have a higher center of gravity than sedans, which means rollovers are a greater danger. When a truck tips to one side, cargo may spill out of the trailer due to the shift in positioning. Rollovers themselves can be the result of negligent driving, and are often attributed to speeding.
