Charlotte Trucking Injury Lawyers

If you have been injured in an accident with a tractor-trailer, big rig, 18-wheeler, semi or other commercial motor vehicle, you need experienced, full service representation. At Warren & Kallianos, our trucking injury lawyers work hard to get our clients the compensation they deserve for their injuries and losses suffered in truck accidents.

When we first meet with our clients, we take the time to find out what they have been through. We obtain the accident report and make sure the report accurately reflects what happened in an accident on a highway or truck crash with fatalities. This often involves contacting witnesses and investigating officers to verify that the accident report is correct. After filing a truck accident claim on your behalf, we handle every aspect of your case from start to finish.

Experienced North Carolina Personal Injury Attorneys

Regardless of the type of truck accident, under the law, trucking companies are responsible for ensuring that truck drivers are suitable and qualified before allowing them to operate potentially dangerous vehicles. Therefore, we obtain from the trucking company all information regarding the truck driver's background and qualifications to operate a commercial motor vehicle.

Our trucking accident investigation team will help reconstruct the accident and determine how the truck driver and/or trucking company acted negligently. Common trucking violations such as driver fatigue, unsafe driving practices and improper vehicle maintenance lead to countless highway accidents.

Understanding Federal Trucking Laws and Third Party Liability

Various federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, as well as state agencies, impose strict regulations on the trucking industry. We make sure those responsible for these violations are held responsible for the injuries and losses they cause if a violation occurs, such as:

• failure to perform pre-vehicle checks
• violations of weight/size restrictions
• excessive driving hours
• use of unsuitable drivers
• other causes of truck accidents

If a defective part was involved, such as tires or load straps, we also explore third party claims against truck and equipment manufacturers.
