Who Is Responsible for Your Trucking Accident?

Both the truck driver and trucking company may have played a role in your tractor-trailer crash injuries. For example, the truck driver could have fallen asleep at the wheel because the company was forcing tight delivery deadlines. Our attorneys are dedicated to identifying the cause of your truck accident. We have retired North Carolina highway patrol officers and other experts available to investigate the trucking accident. We will work hard to hold the negligent party, or parties, responsible for the actions leading to your suffering.

Many trucking accidents result from:

  • Failing to look before changing lines
  • Failing to adjust speeds on hilly or winding roads
  • Failing to properly maintain the truck
  • Drinking and driving
  • Failing to conduct background checks on the drivers
  • Forcing employees to drive long hours
  • Disregarding federal trucking regulations
  • Failing to enforce accurate log book entries
  • Driving recklessly

Whatever the cause of your trucking accident, we are here to help you regain control of your situation and relieve some of the stress you may be feeling.
