North Carolina Truck Accident Attorneys

Seeking Justice & Fighting for Compensation

Streets and highways are often crowded with large and small automobiles, including cars and trucks. Truck accidents occur far too frequently in our modern society and are one of the leading causes of motor vehicle accident fatalities. This is a fact that is easy to understand when you consider that commercial trucks can weigh around 70,000 pounds and the average passenger car weighs around 3,000 pounds.

 

Trucking accidents often occur due to:

Distracted driving

Riding onto soft shoulders

Traveling over uneven ground

Non-working signals

Truck overloads

Trucks driving too close to ditches

Driving with uneven loads

Poor brakes or tires

Downhill slopes

Driver fatigue or intoxication

However, not all trucking accidents occur through driver negligence or truck malfunctions. Maintaining the control of a commercial truck can be very difficult under poor road or weather conditions, and during the transportation of livestock or liquids. Trucks carrying livestock can inadvertently shift weight when turning corners or when the truck has to make a sudden turn. Trucks carrying liquids have to worry about the liquids sloshing back and forth if no baffles are installed in the tank.
