Proving Fault in a Cargo Loss Accident
It is not clear what caused this particular accident. However, an investigation will provide better insight into who is at fault. When cargo or other hauling trucks lose their cargo, it is critical to understand the details. That includes whether or not those who loaded the truck followed best practices. Considerations of whether the equipment used to haul and maintain the load was inferior or poorly maintained will also be a factor. You can expect insurance companies to want details as well, especially if another person is hurt.
