Truck-Tractor Trailer Accidents

North Carolina Truck Accident Attorneys

Statewide FREE Consultation: 1-866-739-9799

A large portion of North Carolina's car accidents occur each year as the result of the careless, reckless or negligent operation of large trucks, semis and tractor trailers on state highways and roads. There are no minor accidents with these trucks - there is little protection provided in an accident involving a vehicle weighing thousands of pounds more than your car.

At Kelly & West, our North Carolina truck accident attorneys have a combined 75 years of legal experience.  We know how to negotiate and litigate personal injury lawsuits and wrongful death claims related to tractor trailer and commercial truck accidents.

If your loved one was seriously injured or killed in a collision with a tractor trailer or semi truck, contact the experienced truck accident lawyers at Kelly & West, in Lillington, for a FREE consultation.

Truck Driver Negligence in Truck Accidents

Truck drivers are under constant pressure to meet strict deadlines and deliver freight on time. Drivers often drive when exhausted, while others drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Other drivers are poorly trained, all in the name of additional profits for the trucking company.

Since 1982, the North Carolina truck accident attorneys at Kelly & West have helped families tragically and suddenly left struggling to pay medical bills, replace lost wages, and arrange long-term care for their loved one who was seriously injured in a negligent truck accident caused by:

• Driver fatigue, resulting in driver error or crossing into traffic
• Driving too many hours in violation of trucking safety regulations
• Drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Improper loading and weight distribution
• Failure to repair or maintain truck properly
• Inadequate training or qualification testing
• Negligent hiring practices by trucking company
• Reckless driving / tailgating / speeding

Federal and state laws place strict guidelines on the operation of tractor-trailers and semi trucks on North Carolina roads, laws which are often disobeyed or ignored by operators and their employers. Too often truck drivers and truck companies try to cover up violations with false log books and doctored company records.
