North Carolina Commercial Truck Defect Attorneys

From truck manufacturers and dealers, to trucking companies and drivers, the commercial trucking industry continues to make, sell and use defective truck parts. Federal and state laws about faulty tires, brakes and other truck equipment have had little influence on the drive to move more freight under tighter deadlines. It is those they share the road with that end up paying the price for such casual disregard for safety.

When commercial truck defects result in injury or fatal accidents, the Charlotte personal injury lawyers of Warren & Kallianos represent victims and families throughout the state in seeking justice and full compensation for negligence. We work hard to hold truck part makers and others accountable for damage caused by defective products leading to truck accidents on area highways and city streets.

If you have been serious hurt or lost a loved one in a commercial truck accident caused by defective parts or vehicle part maintenance, contact our skilled trucking accident attorneys to discuss you legal options.

Our firm handles truck accident cases involving many types of defective parts and equipment:

• Defects in design or manufacture
• Truck tire defects and abnormalities
• Faulty brakes or inadequate hydraulics
• Defects in cab/ trailer coupling systems
• Weak load straps and faulty locks
• Failure to recall known, defective equipment
• Failure to replace recalled truck parts
• Poor truck part maintenance

Our firm will launch a thorough investigation into the cause of the accident, consulting with experts in vehicle engineering and performance. If a defective part was involved, the manufacturer can be held liable. If a dealer or the trucking company knew about it and ignored the problem, they are also liable. Our Charlotte negligence lawsuit lawyers will aggressively pursue action against all responsible parties.

Whether a company sells, or a commercial trucker operates a truck with known defects or a poorly maintained vehicle that causes an accident, we file lawsuits against them for damages, and against their insurance companies.

Poor Truck Maintenance

Federal trucking regulations require daily inspections of trucks by drivers to ensure they are safe to operate. Drivers are prohibited by law from driving trucks in poor condition. When they ignore the laws and their responsibility, they can be held liable for damages in a crash. Drivers are also required to maintain logs, and companies to maintain accurate maintenance records. If they don't, we will uncover the truth that lead to you paying the price for their careless behavior.
