Overloaded Trucks and Falling Debris
Many of the trucking accidents that occur throughout the State of Florida are a result of an overloaded truck or because the load was not properly fastened. Items such as falling logs, pipes, and appliances can obviously be a serious road hazard to other vehicles on the road. More commonly, smaller items such as unsecured water coolers and garden tools can be just as hazardous. There are certain laws in Florida regarding the size, weight, and other aspects of truck load safety.
