What Causes a Truck to Rollover?
Rollover of a big rig can happen when a truck enters a tight curve at too high a speed especially if the load shifts because it is not correctly balanced and secured. Rollover is most often the result of driver error. An inexperienced driver is more likely to have this type of accident that a seasoned professional who understands the forces involved when making sharp turns. A knowledgeable lawyer knows that most of these accidents are caused by negligence and will work to find the exact causes and factors involved in an accident.
Some causes of truck rollover include:
