Overloaded Trucks Your Injury, Our Fight

Midland Overloaded Truck Accident Lawyers

By law, fully loaded commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Despite this weight regulation, however, some drivers and trucking companies make the dangerous choice to overload their trucks. Usually this is done in an effort to increase their profits at the expense and risk of public safety.

At Buckingham & Vega Law Firm, our Midland overloaded truck accident lawyers are experienced at determining when overloaded trucks have contributed to crashes. Dedicated to protecting our clients’ rights, our lawyers can help you pursue all available legal remedies if you have been hurt in an accident caused by an overloaded truck.

While we cannot change the past — and while no sum of money can ever make up for permanent injuries and losses, our representation and effective advocacy can be the key to maximizing your recovery and helping you restore your life after a truck accident.

Dangers of Overloaded Trucks

Overweight trucks can present a number of different risks, all of which can increase the likelihood of truck accidents, injuries and fatalities. 

Some of the reasons that overloaded trucks are so dangerous are that they can increase the risk of:

  • Equipment Failures. Extra weight can make it more likely that tire blowouts, brake failures and other equipment malfunctions will occur.
  • Runaway Accidents. These wrecks can occur when heavy, overloaded trailers cause hitches and other securements to break, allowing trailers to ‘run away’ from the cabins to which they should be secured.
  • Road Collapses. Older and/or elevated roadways may not be able to support overloaded trucks, making it more likely that roads will collapse and serious wrecks will ensue.

Truck drivers can easily lose control of an overloaded truck. There could be situations where the trailer swings out from behind the tractor and causes a jackknife accident. Or, when the driver is turning, the overloaded truck could roll over.

    "Thank God we found him. He really seemed to care about our family."
    Mr. Buckingham won our case after two other law firms said it would be impossible to win. He knew the medicine better than the experts in the case. I guess the fact that he’s also a doctor was a great help.
    Former Client
    "He truly was impressive."
    Mr. Buckingham flew to the East Coast several times & understood how a correct gall bladder surgery is supposed to be done better than the surgeon. He was very knowledgeable & precise.
    Former Client
    "If you want real-life heroes contact these guys. They cared when no one else did."
    When I first contacted Mr.Vega, I knew he was different because he listened to me with compassion. Mr. Vega and his team gave me hope and most important they gave my son a better life.
    Former Client
    "Adrian Vega and his law firm changed my family's life."
    They fought for my injured baby and made sure we would be taken care of for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend this law firm.
    Former Client
    "My family is better off having them in our corner."
    We turned to him when we had nowhere else to go. Turns out it was the best decision we could have ever made. They represented us in a difficult case and made those responsible accountable for their actions.
    Former Client
    "Nothing but the best of the best."
    This was an experience I'll never forget and felt like family and not a business associate. Adrian kept me informed and up to date on all matters of the lawsuit. Needless to say, I received more ( much more ) than expected...
    Former Client
    "Very professional firm and well knowledgeable!"
    I would highly recommend using Buckingham & Vega if you have been injured in an accident. Very professional firm and well knowledgeable!
    Former Client
    "Highly Recommend"
    We had a great experience working with Adrian. He was very professional and guided my family through a difficult situation.
