Truck Accidents
Large tractor trailers have been greatly increasing in presence on North Carolina roads and highways - especially in Raleigh and Fayetteville, as well as around the entire United States. Transporting everything from furniture, lumber, and clothing, to dairy, meat, and other food products, many of the truck drivers on the roads today drive further in a week than many of us do in an entire year. Though most truck drivers are safe and courteous, many are forced to work long hours, driving long distances in a short period of time, which can often lead to careless operator errors. Many times, these errors can result in a collision or other type of accident in which other drivers are hurt. If you have been injured in an automobile accident involving a tractor trailer, you may be entitled to compensation from the driver and the trucking company for your medical bills and other losses.
At the law offices of Brent Adams & Associates, our one and only priority is to fight for you. Our dedicated team of lawyers are experienced North Carolina Trucking Accident Attorneys and will make every effort to ensure that you get the compensation that you deserve.
The Law
It is first very important to understand that the laws governing large trucks and truck drivers are dramatically different than those laws dealing with the average automobile driver. Since in this case you are dealing with a driver and a trucking company, the laws regulating how the two are to be paired together in terms of responsibility have to be different as well. The driver, his qualifications, and the trucking company in question all have to be taken into consideration in each individual trucking accident circumstance, in addition to the separate and differing circumstances surrounding each accident.
If you have been injured in an accident involving a tractor trailer, it is vital that you have a North Carolina trucking accident attorney that knows and understands the laws governing these kinds of situations, as well as what your rights are in any given instance. Brent Adams is an experienced North Carolina trucking accident attorney and will be happy to put his knowledge and expertise to work for you to get the results you deserve.
Things You Should Know
At Brent Adams & Associates, all of our North Carolina trucking accident attorneys have years of experience dealing with serious multi-axle collisions. A good North Carolina trucking accident attorney needs to have a vast depth of knowledge in a variety of different areas, including commercial insurance, truck mechanics and operations, as well as federal trucking guidelines and regulations such as drug and alcohol testing and hours of service/work requirements.
It is imperative that the attorney you choose to represent you and your family have the expertise and experience to get you the results you deserve. Any kind of trucking accident can be extremely costly for trucking companies that are operating on short schedules and deadlines, so many insurance companies representing these trucking companies can be very eager to settle any claims. Choosing a good lawyer will insure that you will not be taken advantage of by unfair insurance companies and that you get all that you are entitled to.
Your Legal Options
Do not let an unfortunate truck driving accident ruin your life. You have rights; and if you have been injured in any way by a negligent truck driver, you may be entitled to a generous sum of monetary compensation for your suffering and injuries. The first step is ensuring that you have a good attorney, one who is experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to the often complex nature of trucking accidents. Let Brent Adams and his first-class team of North Carolina trucking accident attorneys go to work for you.
It will cost you nothing to have your case evaluated by one of our experienced lawyers. Once you have all the information you need, you can make the informed decision as to whether or not you wish to continue with your claim. We will make every effort to ensure that you see maximum results. Do not let the careless negligence of trucking companies ruin you financially. Please give us a call today.
