North Carolina Truck Accident Lawyers

Over 130,000 trucks are involved in accidents every year in the United States. All too often, these truck accidents can cause devastating, even fatal, injury to passengers in the motor vehicles who are struck. Here’s the information you need on truck accidents – and your legal rights.

Though many truck drivers die in truck accidents every year, drivers of the cars that are struck by trucks are far more likely to die. This makes sense when you think of the sheer size of tractor-trailer truck configurations, which simply dwarf passenger vehicles. Over 60 percent of trucks involved in fatal accidents are pulling one semi trailer, and a shocking 75 percent of these vehicles fall into the highest weight class for trucks.

North Carolina truck accidents can occur for a variety of reasons. User error is a common cause. The driver may be fatigued, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or distracted. Poor training can play a part, as can inclement weather conditions, the existence of obstructions or construction on the roadways, or failure of truck components. Brake problems are far too common and can present an extremely high risk to the driver and other vehicles on the road.

Whatever the reason for a truck accident, there’s no denying that truck accident injuries are often far more severe than those suffered in normal car-on-car accidents. Fires, rollovers, and passengers being flung from the vehicle can occur, all of which place passengers at greater risk for incapacitating and debilitating injury at the hands of trucks. When truck accidents happen, the first priority should be obtaining the best possible treatment. Once treatment has been procured, it’s time to look for an experienced and reputable North Carolina auto accident attorney with the resources it takes to investigate and pursue litigation for the truck accident in question.
