Driving can always be dangerous, regardless of what type of vehicle is involved. However, there are certain types of vehicles that make accidents even more catastrophic. Large semi-trucks are dangerous for various reasons due to their weight, size, and how challenging it is to maneuver large trucks. If you are injured in a truck accident, you should be aware of your rights. Under North Carolina law, injury victims are entitled to compensation from the person whose negligence and recklessness caused their injuries.

You are not required to give a statement to the insurance company immediately after an accident. It may be beneficial to discuss your case with a lawyer first. You do not want to unintentionally admit fault due to the stress and shock of the truck accident. A truck accident lawyer will review the facts of your case and ensure that you obtain all the compensation you deserve. Your lawyer can also help you craft a statement that is accurate and protects your right to compensation.

Determining liability is one of the most important aspects of recovering compensation. Several different parties could be liable for a truck accident, including the following:

• The driver
• The commercial trucking company that employed the driver
• Manufacturers of the trucking parts
• Distributors of the trucking parts
• The loader or shipper of the cargo in the truck
• The maintenance facility that worked on the truck

At Arnold & Smith, PLLC, our team knows how to conduct a thorough investigation of truck accidents. We will leave no stone unturned to determine which parties are at fault for your injuries. When the trucking company is at fault, you may be able to recover more compensation. Commercial trucking companies typically carry more significant insurance policies and have more assets available to fund a personal injury lawsuit verdict. We have the legal skills and resources to effectively gather evidence proving the defendant's liability in your case.

Whether you have been in a trucking accident or any other type of auto accident, hiring an attorney is highly beneficial. Trucking accidents can be immensely complicated. They often involve severe injuries or fatalities, and trucking companies will try every tactic possible to try to avoid paying compensation to victims. Hiring a personal injury lawyer can help you prove that you are entitled to compensation. Your lawyer will also be able to negotiate aggressively with the insurance company or descendants to maximize your compensation. Finally, your lawyer will be able to guide you through the process and protect your rights while you focus on your recovery.

Semi-truck accidents are frequently severe and cause catastrophic injuries that are expensive to treat. For example, if a victim in a trucking accident becomes paralyzed, he or she could be required to spend millions of dollars to obtain the necessary care and medical treatment. In North Carolina, successful personal injury plaintiffs are entitled to seek economic, non-economic, and punitive damages.

Semi-trucks pose a significant safety threat to other motorists on the road. Even a tiny error on the part of the semi-truck driver can cause a fatal accident. Many semi-truck accidents involve some type of negligence on the driver’s part, such as distracted driving, texting while driving, driving while intoxicated, or making unsafe lane changes. Common injuries from traffic accidents include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, bone fractures, and neck injuries.
