Client Review

Joenie H.

Review stars

Chris Martineau is our lawyer and we have worked together for the past 5 years. From the moment we (my husband and I) started working together, the thing that was apparent and that we respected most about Chris was his honesty and knowledge. He did not mince words or waste time. As time went on, his integrity was clearly transparent as well. We are extremely fortunate to work with Chris.

Unsecured Cargo

At Johnston | Martineau PLLP, we understand the complexities of trucking accidents, especially those involving unsecured or improperly secured cargo. This type of incident can lead to severe road mishaps, affecting not only the truck driver but also other road users. Fortunately, our team can shed light on this issue, highlighting the risks and also explaining how we can offer support to those affected.

Why Unsecured Cargo Is A Major Concern

Unsecured cargo can create hazardous conditions on the road. When cargo is not properly secured, it can shift or fall off the truck during transport, leading to accidents that can cause significant injury and even fatalities. Such incidents also lead to major traffic disruptions and can pose additional risks as other drivers attempt to avoid debris or unbalanced loads.

The legal requirements for securing cargo are detailed and specific, aimed at preventing these types of accidents. However, compliance varies, and lapses can occur due to oversight, rushing to meet deadlines, or lack of proper training.

Legal Implications Of Accidents Involving Unsecured Cargo

When accidents occur due to unsecured cargo, determining liability can be complicated. Liability may not rest solely with the truck driver; it often extends to trucking companies, cargo loaders, and others involved in the chain of cargo handling and transportation.

At Johnston | Martineau PLLP, we delve deep into each case to determine all parties responsible for the oversight. This involves a thorough review of cargo loading protocols, driver logs, company training records, and compliance with federal and state regulations. Our aim is to ensure that our clients receive a fair evaluation of their situation and the best possible outcome from legal proceedings.

How We Help Victims Of Unsecured Cargo Accidents

Supporting victims of accidents caused by unsecured cargo involves several key actions:

Investigation and Evidence Collection: We gather all necessary evidence to build a strong case. This includes photos of the accident scene, witness statements, and expert assessments of how the cargo was secured.

Legal Representation: Our team manages all aspects of the legal process, from initial consultations to court appearances, if necessary. We ensure that our clients are fully informed and represented at every step.

Securing Compensation: We work diligently to secure compensation for damages, medical expenses, loss of income, and other impacts of the accident.

Commitment To Safety And Justice

At Johnston | Martineau PLLP, our commitment goes beyond just resolving cases. We are dedicated to helping our clients through some of their most challenging times by providing knowledgeable and compassionate legal services. If unsecured cargo has impacted your life through a trucking accident, we are here to help analyze your case and guide you towards recovery and justice.

Safety on the roads is a shared responsibility, and through our legal services, we strive to contribute to a safer driving environment for everyone. If you have been affected by an accident involving unsecured cargo, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
