North Carolina Semi Truck Accident Lawyer: Causes

Truck accidents are some of the more devastating vehicle crashes, typically the result of some form of negligence by the truck driver, the company they work for, the truck manufacturer, or some combination of parties. The Charlotte truck injury lawsuit firm of Warren & Kallianos has handled these complex liability claims for many injury victims throughout the state.

Those injured in a semi truck accident can file a personal injury lawsuit (or families of those killed, a wrongful death lawsuit) against those responsible, including the insurers of the driver, the transport company, the truck, the trailer, and any truck part maker in commercial vehicle accidents.

Understanding Causes of Truck Accidents on North Carolina Roads

Some of the common reasons for the truck-auto accidents we have handled involve:

• Driver fatigue or inattention
• Alcohol or drug use by truck drivers
• Aggressive driving (speeding, tailgating)
• Negligent driving in adverse weather conditions
• Jackknifes or rollovers on wet or icy roads
• Unsecured loads causing accidents on highways
• load shifts from improper loading
• Tire blowouts and break failures
• Improper truck or trailer maintenance

Whether a semi truck accident is caused by negligent passing or a defective truck part, we have resources to conduct a full investigation. We consult with truck design engineers and accident reconstruction experts. In order to establish the impact to the lives of victims we consult medical and life care planning specialists.

Once we determine full extent of damages and all who are responsible for providing compensation, we aggressively negotiate a settlement to cover current and future medical expenses, lost wages, disability, pain and suffering and other costs. In fatal semi truck accidents, we help ensure surviving family members find justice and full compensation for their tragic loss.
