Truck Accident Attorney
Our truck accident lawyers have handled cases involving injuries from tractor trailer and log trucks where there were head injuries, herniated discs, neck injuries, back injuries, broken bones and other injuries resulting in serious surgeries and even death.
Trucking accidents involving commercial motor vehicles, including large trucks, trailers, semis, 18 wheelers, big rigs and log trucks require extensive investigation. Log trucks operate throughout North Carolina and often an accident caused by these heavily laden vehicles creates serious injury.
Let our team help you.
Whenever there is a fatality in a collision involving a commercial vehicle the Department of Transportation (DOT) is required to perform an on-site investigation. Early and thorough collection of evidence is important.
Truck injury claims are different from car accidents and should be handled in a manner that takes the Federal Motor Carrier Law and the specific requirements for log trucks, interstate trucks and intrastate trucking into account in determining what happened.
Often due to the serious nature of the injuries from trucking accidents, multiple lawyers works together to handle the resulting workers' compensation and Social Security Disability claims. Susan O'Malley is board certified as a Social Security Disability Specialist and all of our attorneys have extensive experience with workers' compensation cases.
