Protecting Your Interests After a Truck Accident in NC
Truck accidents often involve significant damage claims that can cost millions of dollars. With a significant amount of money at stake, the insurance companies that cover big rigs will do almost anything to limit their liability and pay you less money than you deserve.
Our job as truck accident attorneys is to collect and preserve evidence of truck driver and/or trucking company liability; evidence we will then use to press for the full compensation to which you are entitled.
Examples of evidence in a truck accident case include:
- History of the driver
- Maintenance history of the truck and trailer
- Driver logbooks
- Fuel and food receipts to determine if logbooks are accurate
- Truck GPS equipment (if so equipped) to determine what actions the driver took before the accident
The trucking industry is highly regulated to reduce the risk of injury to other drivers. For example, truck drivers may only drive a maximum of 10 hours after 8 consecutive hours of rest to help prevent accidents caused by driver fatigue. However, some drivers routinely violate hours-of-service laws since they earn money only when their rigs are rolling.
If our lawyers can uncover evidence of truck safety violations by the driver or the trucking company, your case will become much stronger.
