Sources of Insurance Information

While hard data regarding the number of accidents is not yet available from government or insurance information sources, anecdotal data suggests that the figure is on the rise, due to the increasing market acceptance and use of low cost (and consequent low quality), foreign-made, leaf spring suspensions. The damage is caused by the unpredictable snapping of the metal blades while the trailer is being hauled behind its towing vehicle, usually at high speeds, on roads and highways. Usually, the ensuing accident is damaging to the trailer frame and fender, as well as the trailer tire(s) and sometimes the boat as well. At very high speeds, the towing vehicle itself, and any following cars, may also become part of the accident. The potential for damage to property and endangerment to health and life is great.
