How Is Load Shift Investigated in Cases of Truck Accidents

In the attached video, David Fenstersheib of Fenstersheib Law Group explains how load shift investigations play a critical role in determining fault after a serious truck accident. When cargo inside a semi-truck isn’t properly balanced or secured, the results can be devastating — rollovers, jackknife accidents, or multi-vehicle pileups that cause catastrophic injuries. Understanding how these investigations work can make all the difference in proving negligence and securing justice for victims.

A load shift occurs when the weight inside a trailer moves suddenly during travel — for example, when liquid in a tanker sloshes from side to side or when pallets aren’t properly strapped down. This imbalance can make the truck unstable, causing it to lose control or tip over. As David explains in the video, trucking companies are required to follow strict safety standards when loading cargo. If they fail to do so, and someone is hurt as a result, they can be held legally responsible.

At Fenstersheib Law Group, our attorneys meticulously investigate every detail of a load shift case. We review loading logs, training manuals, and safety procedures, and we depose drivers, warehouse staff, and company representatives to uncover where negligence occurred. Our team looks closely at whether the trucking company complied with federal and state regulations — or whether they cut corners to save time or money.

Load shift accidents are among the most complex types of trucking cases, but with the right evidence and legal strategy, victims can hold negligent companies accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
