When goods are too large to fit in a normal cargo container on an 18 wheeler truck, a Flatbed Trailer is used instead. If cargo falls off of a Flatbed Trailer Truck and strikes another vehicle, truck or car, the results are very devastating. In this kind of accident, multiple parties and multiple defendants are usually involved. The flat bed truck driver and the transportation company are to blame as well as the company that loaded the cargo, if the cargo was improperly secured or improperly fastened to the flatbed trailer truck. The flatbed trailer truck could have also collided with another vehicle and that other vehicle could be liable for causing the accident. The flatbed trailer truck could have collided with a tree, power line, bridge, etc due to an improper route by the organization that planned the flatbed trailer truck driver’s route making them liable as well.
