Few states see as many logging trucks as Maine. Loaded with tons of timber on narrow, winding roads, they pose a distinct hazard.
Why Logging Crashes Are Severe
Heavy, shifting loads and rural high-speed roads make these collisions catastrophic. Improperly secured loads add another layer of danger and potential liability.
Liability Questions
The driver, the logging company, and those responsible for loading and securing the timber may all bear responsibility. Load-securement rules are central to many of these cases.
Preserving Evidence Quickly
As with all commercial-truck cases, logs, maintenance records, and load documentation must be preserved before they disappear.
