Trucker Injury Lawyer Semi-Truck Rollovers- The Cabs are not safe
the truck manufacturers could & Have built safer truckS
There are several reasons why eighteen wheelers, also known as semi-trucks or tractor-trailers, may rollover.
One reason is the high center of gravity of the vehicle. Because the trailer is attached to the tractor at a higher point than the wheels, the vehicle has a higher center of gravity than a standard passenger car. This makes it more susceptible to rolling over when making sharp turns or when taking a turn at a high speed.
Another reason is the weight distribution of the load. If the load is not properly balanced or secured, it can shift during transport, causing the truck to become unstable and potentially roll over. This is why it is important for truck drivers to properly load and secure their cargo before hitting the road.
Driving a semi-truck with a trailer or cargo tank requires skill and lots of training. Yet, truck manufacturers refuse to build safe trucks to protect drivers knowing the following:
They know how to make it
They know Truckers are at greater risk
Cars cut off Trucks
Unforseeable weather changes
Unforeseeable road conditions and hazards
