Truck Rollover Accidents in Spokane

Rollovers are almost always a result of negligence

Commercial trucks, like most vehicles, are built with safeguards in place to prevent rollovers from happening. When a commercial truck rolls over, negligence on the part of the driver or trucking company is almost always to blame. Some of the common causes of rollovers include:

• Cargo piled too high, making the truck top-heavy, or unbalanced
• Truck driver fails to adjust speed while going around curves
• Driver distracted or asleep at the wheel, leading to sudden changes of direction
• Truck driver fails to appropriately steer the vehicle

The trucking company may have failed to make sure its drivers were experienced and responsible operators. Or the company responsible for the cargo might also be responsible for the accident. In other words, if you were hurt when a nearby truck rolled over, it almost certainly wasn't your fault. The trucking company should be held responsible for causing your injuries.

Getting compensation requires an experienced attorney

Rollovers might seem like open and shut cases because liability on the part of the trucking company is fairly clear.
