When semi trucks, tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles are not properly loaded, items can fall off of them and land in the roadway. These objects then turn into dangerous hazards that cause serious accidents and injuries. This is especially the case on the highway, when unsuspecting drivers are driving at fast speeds and cannot stop or safely swerve around these items.
If you or a family member was involved in an accident caused by an item that fell from a truck or any type of vehicle, call Perry & Young, P.A., in Panama City, Florida, at 850-215-7777. Our "go teams" are available 24/7.
Often, the negligent truck driver can be difficult to find. The driver may not have realized that something fell from the truck and continued driving, or the driver could have simply left the scene. If possible, our team of investigators will attempt to trace the cargo back to the truck it fell from. While there are many different types of objects that can fall from trucks and cause serious accidents, injuries and deaths, some of the more common items include:
- Logs, pipes and other materials
- Wheels, tires and axles
- Garbage (falling from garbage trucks)
- Construction materials and equipment
- Cars (falling off of car carriers and tow trucks)
- Furniture
- Ladders
- Livestock
- Liquids (truck spills)
- Any other item being transported by a commercial truck
