A flatbed truck is a truck that is entirely flat, meaning it has no roof or sides. Flatbed trucks allow individuals to quickly and easily load non-perishable goods that won’t be harmed by rain or other elements.
Flatbed truck accidents typically occur due to careless behavior. For example:
Truck drivers, especially flatbed truck drivers, are required by law to check their load at specified intervals to ensure that load is very secure; however, drivers sometimes fail to perform these inspections, resulting in serious flatbed trucking accidents that can severely injure pedestrians or other drivers.
