Trailer Sway
Trailer sway accidents are very unpredictable and extremely hazardous. A trailer sway most commonly involves an 18 wheeler semi-truck, but it may just as easily involve a recreational vehicle, a recreational trailer, a horse trailer or any other trailer towed behind a passenger or commercial vehicle.
What can Cause a Trailer Sway Accident
Trailer sways may be triggered by high winds, sudden maneuvers, driving too fast, excessive downhill speed, etc. Shifting loads may also cause trailer sways, as can the wind vacuum of being passed by a larger vehicle.
Once a trailer begins to sway, it is very difficult to correct. The trailer may quickly become uncontrollable, causing an accident that may inflict injuries, or in extreme cases, cause accidental death. Professional and commercial drivers are trained to avoid the circumstances which trigger trailer sways, but private recreational drivers may not be aware of the potential hazard of towing a trailer.
