Truck Accident Lawyers in North Carolina
Fatalities, Catastrophic Injuries and 18-Wheeler Tractor-Trailer/Semi
One of our recent truck accident cases provides a telling
example of how insurance companies view the victims. In this
case, the truck driver fell asleep and ran into the back of our
client's car, seriously injuring him and killing a family member
who was a passenger. The trucking company's insurance adjustor
arrived to the scene soon after the accident and, upon learning
there was a fatality, uttered an expletive, went to his car and
started making phone calls.
The insurance industry plays
a vicious game, and the goal of this game in any serious
accident case to minimize or eliminate what they pay out. At the
Knox Law Center, our duty as
lawyers is to protect your rights. With offices in Charlotte
and Denver, we represent truck accident victims in North
Carolina.
We provide a
free initial consultation to discuss your truck accident
case. Under our contingency fee arrangement, we will not charge
you unless you recover.
Protecting your rights and interests
Trucking companies train their drivers in the use of what
they call an "accident reconstruction kit." Following a truck
accident, the driver is instructed to deny fault and protect the
company. Insurance company investigators are called immediately
and often arrive while the injured are being transported to
emergency rooms.
As soon as you retain our law firm to represent you, our
lawyers will interview witnesses and preserve evidence such as
the truck's black box, driver logbooks, drug testing records and
information about the driver's background.
North Carolina is a contributory negligence state, which
means that if the truck driver's insurance company can prove
that you were partially at fault for the accident, you will not
be able to recover any compensation for your damages. For this
reason, you should never say anything to the trucking company's
insurance company until you have first spoken with an attorney.
