Experienced Truck Accident Lawyers Wilmington NC

Have you been involved in a trucking accident? Large trucks are all over the roadways now that the trucking industry is considered the ‘backbone’ of the US economy. But like any other vehicle, semi-trucks are vulnerable to the same human error, poor road conditions, and the deadly consequences of distracted driving. However, unlike other vehicles, trucking companies face special regulations, fines, insurance company penalties, lost wages, and, considering the size of the trucks, they are capable of more property damage and more serious personal injury.

Truck drivers who have been in commercial truck accidents need to understand that a different set of rules apply to the truck crash than to your typical auto accident cases. Hiring an experienced truck accident attorney to handle your case is highly advisable. At Greg Jones Law, we have years of experience working with trucking companies and insurance companies. We could potentially help you gain maximum compensation and avoid liability for a truck accident you were not at fault for. Call Greg Jones Law today at 855-566-3752 to schedule a free consultation.

Should I Be Worried About the Insurance Company?

North Carolina is a contributory negligence state, in this case, meaning that the truck driver is barred from recovering any compensation if he or she acted negligently and contributed to the accident at all. If one percent of the blame can fall on the actions of the truck driver, then the trucking company may argue that the truck driver could have avoided the accident, putting you at fault both financially and in the eyes of the law.

The truck company should bear some responsibility for an accident involving their commercial vehicle. Truck accident lawyers versed in the law, and legal issues pertaining to commercial trucks could help build your defense. Greg Jones Law employs former insurance defense lawyers as part of the law firm and could help your case. Call today to set up a free initial consultation.

What Causes Truck Accidents?

On average, truck accidents are responsible for the wrongful death of many Americans each year. Truck accidents result in even more injured individuals each year, many victims leaving the truck accident with broken bones and steep medical bills. There are numerous causes of truck accidents:

Careless drivers.
Drunk driving.
Falling asleep at the wheel.
Improper truck maintenance.
Improperly secured truck’s cargo.
Insufficient training for commercial driver’s license.
Other drivers of passenger vehicles distracted driving.
Pedestrians who were not visible.
Road conditions.
Substance abuse.
Weather conditions.

The causes of truck accidents are as varied as the regulations in place. Attorneys at law can help inform the truck driver of their rights and legal issues before a lawsuit and injury claim threatens to bury them. Reach out to Greg Jones Law for a free case review.

How Can Truck Accident Lawyers Help Me?
