Fair Oaks Overloaded Truck Accident Lawyer
When commercial trucks carry more weight than legally allowed, every mile becomes a potential disaster. Overloaded or improperly loaded trucks are harder to control, slower to stop, and more likely to tip over. If you’ve been injured in a collision involving a dangerously loaded vehicle, a skilled Fair Oaks overloaded truck accident lawyer at the Law Office of Israel Garcia can help you pursue full and fair compensation.
Why Overloaded Trucks Are So Dangerous
Texas has strict weight limits for trucks, especially on highways and bridges. These laws are in place because overloaded trucks:
- Take longer to brake, increasing rear-end and intersection crash risks
- Place excess stress on tires, leading to blowouts
- Cause steering and maneuvering difficulties
- Increase the chance of rollover or jackknife accidents
- Can damage roadways and bridges, leading to secondary crashes
Overloaded trucks aren’t just unsafe—they’re illegal. Trucking companies or drivers who ignore weight regulations may be liable for your injuries and damages.
Who’s Liable in an Overloaded Truck Accident?
Many parties may play a role in causing or contributing to a truck’s dangerous load. Our Fair Oaks truck accident lawyers investigate every angle, including:
- The trucking company for unsafe loading practices
- Third-party loaders or freight companies
- Drivers who failed to inspect or report unsafe loads
- Manufacturers if mechanical failure contributed to the crash
We gather evidence such as scale records, inspection logs, maintenance history, and witness accounts to prove negligence.

What evidence helps prove a truck was overloaded?
We look for weigh station tickets, scale logs, black box data, maintenance records, and crash scene photographs. If the truck’s load was not properly secured or exceeded legal limits, this can serve as key evidence of negligence. Our firm knows what to demand in discovery and how to hold all responsible parties accountable.
Is the driver always at fault in an overloaded truck crash?
Not necessarily. While the driver has a duty to inspect their load and refuse unsafe cargo, the fault often lies with the trucking company, loaders, or shippers who pressure drivers or fail to follow safety protocols. We’ll identify every liable party to maximize your recovery.
How much compensation can I recover after a truck accident?
Depending on your case, you may recover compensation for medical bills, future treatment, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. If gross negligence is involved, punitive damages may also apply. Our Fair Oaks overloaded truck accident lawyers work to build a case that fully reflects your damages.
