Boise Wide Load Truck Accident Lawyers
Idaho Trucking Accident Attorneys
Federal and state law mandates that trailers in excess of 8 1/2 feet wide are subject to special rules and restrictions. Chief among the regulations are special markings and escorts accompanying the wide load, to ensure other drivers on the road take extra precautions while passing or maneuvering the large cabs and trailers. Unfortunately, many trucking companies responsible for transporting mobile home, industrial machinery, road construction equipment, and logging and mining equipment are guilty of ignoring or evading the rules.
If you were injured in an accident because of a wide load trailer on an Idaho road, talk to one of our trial lawyers at the Idaho truck accident law firm of Carty Houst in Boise. We have extensive experience representing clients who have suffered injury or the loss of a loved one in truck accidents. We understand how Idaho courts interpret Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA) regulations, and we use professional medical experts and accident reconstruction specialists, when necessary, to ensure that your case has the best opportunity possible to win in a settlement or court.
Did you know?
A fully loaded semitractor-trailer carrying a wide load of industrial equipment can weigh more than 100,000 pounds. Loaded mining trucks often way as much as 300,000 pounds. At excessive weights, steering systems, brakes and tires fail or require significantly more distance to bring the cab and trailer to a controlled stop. In a crash, the extra mass transfers greater energy to the occupants in the smaller vehicle, making bad injuries even worse.
