The lawsuit alleges that the trailer was poorly built and improperly secured, there was no safety hitch pin in place, and the chains used to Investigators also determined that the chains used to pull the trailer were too long allowing the front of the trailer to hit the ground and the bolt that secured the chain to the trailer was improperly secured.
