Wide loads are becoming more common in the trucking industry, due to the ever-increasing demand to move more cargo. When wide-load trucking regulations are not followed, however, these oversized loads can create a highway hazard that puts lives at risk.

Alabama Wide-Load Truck Regulations
Wide load trucks require a special permit that places limitations on where and when the truck can travel. For instance, in Alabama, wide-load trucks are only allowed to travel between one half-hour before dawn to one half-hour after sunset.
There are special weight limits for wide loads. Also, most wide-load trucks are required to travel with escort vehicles.
In handling wide-load truck accident cases, we thoroughly investigate all of the circumstances of the crash, to determine if violations of Alabama or federal trucking regulations led to the crash.
Wide-load accidents can lead to serious and life-threatening injuries. Our attorneys help the victims of these crashes pursue compensation for their losses, including medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering, and other hardships.
