Oversized Loads & Specialty Carriers
Oversized trucks and loads, including loads that are wider, longer, or heavier than allowed under standard cargo regulations, require that special safety precautions be followed. Government regulations regarding specialized and oversized cargo must also be followed. If these precautions and regulations are not followed, a serious wreck may result.
Our team is committed to holding truck drivers and truck companies accountable when they break the rules and cause serious accidents. Paul A. Casi, II has more than 28 years of experience serving the injured throughout Kentucky, and he leads our team in our mission to recover maximum settlements and awards that help our clients rebuild their lives after traumatic truck accidents and injuries.

Safety Precautions for Oversized Truck Loads
Oversized loads can include trucks carrying houses or anything else that is wider or longer than the normal vehicle width and length. Driving these loads requires special care and skill, and truck drivers must drive safely while considering the oversize load that is being transported. An escort vehicle is usually required to guide the truck driver and serve as an advance warning for surrounding traffic.
Escorting an oversize load also requires special care and skill by the escort driver. If these and other precautions are not taken, accidents are much more likely to occur. Our firm has the experience and resources to handle these unique trucking accident cases. If a specialty carrier or truck carrying an oversized load caused harm to you or a loved one, our attorneys are here for you.
