Lawyer for Kanawha County Coal Truck Wrecks
Coal truck accidents are regular occurrences on West Virginia roads. There is a great deal of truck traffic hauling coal in the state. If drivers fail to follow legal load requirements, the extra weight can make the coal trucks extremely difficult to stop and control, causing serious accidents.

Overloaded Trucks and Other Factors
When an overloaded coal truck suddenly attempts to stop, the results can be fatal. For example, consider a truck driver who doesn't see that traffic has stopped until he comes around a curve. By the time he slams on the brakes, it is too late and the truck slides, hits an embankment and flips over, injuring several other drivers in the process.
Overloaded timber trucks are also the cause of many serious crashes in West Virginia. Additional contributing factors to deadly truck wrecks include:
- Brake failure
- Drunk driving
- Driving while fatigued
- Poor truck and road maintenance
- Poorly designed narrow and winding roads
- Improper safety barriers
- Inclement weather
