Truck Accidents
Truck accident cases are different than other types of auto accident cases because they may involve complex legal issues and multiple parties. A Charlotte truck accident attorney from our law firm can help personal injury victims injured in:
- Jackknife accidents – Jackknife accidents occur when a truck’s trailer and cab form a 90-degree angle, often because the driver has braked hard and fast. The weight of the trailer brings it forward against the cab’s traction.
- Tire blowouts – Because the average truck driver travels thousands of miles every week, their truck tires may wear out. If a blowout occurs, the driver can lose control of the vehicle and crash into nearby vehicles.
- Wide-turn accidents – Trucks often have to make wide turns due to their larger frame. However, truck drivers who swing left to make a right turn without looking for nearby vehicles may inadvertently crash into them.
- Improper load accidents – If cargo is not loaded onto trucks carefully and properly secured, cargo can shift during transit or fall out of the truck.
- Undercarriage accidents – Semi-trucks are several feet above the ground, so if they brake suddenly, smaller vehicles can become lodged under them.
Car Accidents
The sooner you speak to a Charlotte car accident attorney, the sooner they can tell you how much your case may be worth and start investigating the crash. An attorney will protect your rights and help you fight for maximum compensation for your injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents
Some of the most devastating personal injury claims our lawyers handle are motorcycle accident cases. Motorcyclists do not benefit from the same safety features as other vehicles, such as seat belts, airbags, or a steel frame. This can make even a low-speed injury catastrophic. Contact our Charlotte motorcycle accident lawyers to learn how we can help you.
Wrongful Death
When the at-fault party’s negligence causes the victim’s death, their personal representative can file a wrongful death lawsuit against them. The estate can potentially recover monetary compensation through this type of personal injury lawsuit for the following damages:
- Reasonable hospital and medical expenses
- Burial expenses
- Expenses for care, medical treatment, and hospitalization for the injury resulting in death
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of support, services, protection, care, assistance, society, companionship, comfort, and guidance
