We have the knowledge and experience you need to fight for the compensation you deserve.
It’s hard to imagine driving on the roadways anywhere in the United States for very long without encountering at least one, and probably several, big semi-trucks. They’re everywhere – and they’ve become so commonplace that we almost take their presence for granted. That is, until we find ourselves, or someone we love, involved in an accident with one of these oversized vehicles. When that happens -and it happens all too often- the consequences can be significant, shocking, and long-lasting. If you live in the Chapel Hill area and you are the victim of a truck accident, at The Clauson Law Firm, we’re here for you.
Most people understand that large semi-trucks are inherently different from smaller passenger cars. This is certainly because of their size, which makes these vehicles far more capable of inflicting serious damage to other vehicles and their occupants than would be experienced in a normal passenger car collision. Semi-truck accidents are also different simply because there can be numerous causes of the accident beyond simple driver negligence. Without question, distracted drivers, drowsy drivers, drivers under the influence – all can, and frequently do, cause accidents.
In other cases, however, truck accidents are caused by other factors, outside of the truck driver’s direct control. These may include:
Clearly, there are plenty of other causes of truck accidents that go beyond the negligence of the driver. Indeed, there can be any number of responsible parties. From a practical standpoint, and of particular importance to the victims of these accidents, is the fact that this means that several other parties may be potentially liable for damages when an accident occurs. The trucking company, the company that manufactured the truck, the company that loaded the truck, and various insurance companies – all may share some portion of the blame.
Because there are so many complexities and potentially liable parties involved in truck accident cases, it is extremely important to find and retain a legal team that understands the complexities of the law and can make sure that you are pursuing the legal strategies which will increase your chances of maximum recovery. The truth of the matter is that insurance companies simply don’t have your best interests at heart. Their goal is to lower the amount that they will have to pay out – you need an attorney who can fight for the compensation you deserve.
If you are the victim of an accident involving a large truck, you may feel as if your entire life has been turned upside down. If that’s the case, you should know that even if it seems impossible at the moment, you will get through it. There is a healthier and happier chapter ahead waiting for you.
