Cline Donaldson conducts in-depth accident investigations and meticulously gathers evidence to establish what happened. We build the strongest possible case by proving the truck driver, trucking company, or other party acted negligently and directly caused the collision.
Truck drivers may cause accidents by speeding, driving distracted or drowsy, failing to check blindspots, or driving under the influence. Driver inexperience and lack of skill also contribute significantly.
When trucking companies fail to properly maintain vehicles, tire blowouts, brake failures, and other equipment malfunctions can result. Lack of maintenance drastically increases accident risk.
Slick roads, debris in the road, construction zones, and poor weather like rain or snow also increase accident risks.
Trucking companies may overwork and under-train drivers. They may also overload trucks beyond legal weight limits or fail to inspect them. These factors endanger other motorists.
Common truck driver errors include speeding, distracted or drowsy driving, and driving under the influence. Trucking companies can also be liable if they fail to properly train and supervise drivers, overload trucks, or inadequately maintain vehicles.
If a truck driver or company’s negligent actions caused your accident, you have the right to hold them accountable. Our skilled attorney can help you build strong injury claims against even the largest trucking companies.
This means that if an injured victim was even slightly at fault for causing the accident, they are completely barred from recovering any compensation. Even if the victim was only 5% responsible while the truck driver was 95% negligent, no damages can be recovered.
This strict rule presents substantial challenges in truck accident cases where the fault is disputed. However, Cline Donaldson Law can help you overcome these difficulties through meticulous investigation and vigorous litigation aimed at proving the truck driver’s actions were the sole cause of the collision.
Although North Carolina’s laws are unforgiving for partially negligent plaintiffs, we work tirelessly to maximize the possibility of compensation for injured clients. We understand the intricacies of building strong cases under a strict contributory negligence framework.
Working with a personal injury attorney often allows injury victims to cover more compensation than they would pursuing a claim on their own. At Cline Donaldson Law, we help you by:
