Experienced Carolina Catastrophic Injury Attorney
Due to their sheer weight and size, any accident involving an 18-wheeler or semi-truck can result in catastrophic and fatal injuries, especially for the drivers of passenger vehicles and motorcycles. If you have been involved in a truck accident, or have a loved one who has been seriously injured or killed in an accident, you deserve personal and experienced representation.
At the Karney Law Firm in Charlotte, I have been handling personal injury claims, including car, truck and motorcycle accidents, for more than 30 years in North and South Carolina. When you need compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other expenses, you need a lawyer who has handled cases like yours in the past and has a strong track record of success in those cases.
I have obtained some of the largest verdicts and settlements in the Southeastern United States and have established a solid reputation for aggressive truck accident representation.
Common Causes of Semi-Truck Accidents
In many cases, semi-truck accidents are the result of negligence caused by truck drivers or the companies that employ them. At my firm, I have seen accident cases caused by:
- Speeding and aggressive driving
- Driver fatigue
- Improper semi-truck maintenance
- Insufficient driver training
- False log books
- Unrealistic deadlines and schedules
- Drugs or alcohol
- Other violations of federal trucking regulations
Despite this negligence, trucking companies and their insurance carriers will still work hard to limit the damages that they are required to pay after an accident. Do not talk with an insurance company or sign any documents before you have spoken with an experienced attorney. You could limit your ability to collect the damages that you deserve.
