Are Trailer Accidents Common?
Because of how often they are used, and because of the fact that no training is required to use them, accidents involving trailers are extremely common. Trailer accidents can occur because the trailer is overloaded, because it is poorly loaded or because the vehicle towing the trailer is inept for the job. There are also a number of other reasons why trailer accidents happen, but the reality is that they happen on a daily basis.
Because of the nature of trailer accidents, they are often serious or even fatal. High speeds and large equipment are often involved which is a bad recipe when it comes to seriousness of an accident.
What to Look for in a Trailer Expert
A trailer expert should be familiar with the mechanical workings of trailers. Furthermore, they should have a sound understanding of what proper warnings should be displayed and the safety features that should be available for a trailer.
A trailer expert witness should have the ability to analyze the trailer in question to see if it is built sufficiently to hold the capacities that it is rated for.
Our experts can perform analyses to determine the structural integrity of equipment and provide opinions that are technically accurate, of the highest quality, scientifically supported and clearly presented.
