A New York Trailer Accident can involve not only tractor trailers but also trailers that are being towed by private or commercial motor vehicles. These trailers can be hauling lawn care equipment, a boat, jet skis, wave runners, ATVs, bicycles, furniture or other large objects. Trailer accidents occur when the hitch on the trailer is not connected to the wench of the vehicle properly and the trailer becomes detached and rolls away from the towing vehicle. Trailer accidents happen every day on large highways or small roads because the driver of a vehicle towing a trailer does not double check the trailer prior to embarking on their trip. Trailers should be checked for safety each day prior to hitting the road, even if the trailer was checked the night before. Anything can happen overnight, such as someone fiddling with the hitch and loosening its grip on the wench of the vehicle.
