There are many ways that overloaded trucks can cause accidents:

• They can cause damage to roads, bridges, and other infrastructure, which can lead to secondary accidents
• Cargo can spill or fall from a truck, causing chain reaction accidents or accidents involving the vehicle behind the truck
• Overloaded trucks may be more prone to rollovers
• Overloaded trucks may speed up dangerously when going downhill or may have a harder time getting uphill, interrupting the smooth flow of traffic and potentially causing an accident
• Overloaded trucks may be harder to control and stop, meaning that truck drivers may have a harder time avoiding collisions
• Overloaded trucks and trucks with incorrectly loaded cargo can spill or lose some of their cargo, sometimes causing the vehicles and behind them to crash

Even if you have excellent medical coverage and car insurance coverage, keep in mind that a truck accident can be extremely expensive. A truck accident caused by an overweight or overloaded truck, especially, is likely to cause serious or permanent injury due to the size and force of the truck involved. It is unlikely that an insurance carrier will pay out the maximum amount possible under Florida law in these cases.

In fact, insurance carriers may please their shareholders more and make larger profits if they undervalue claims.
