When tractor trailer collisions do occur, trucking
companies involved in the accident often send representatives to the accident
scene. These agents work to handle everything at the scene of the accident so
that they can limit or mitigate their company’s liability. These companies’
representatives know that the ideal time to confront an accident victim is
immediately following the event. If you have been involved in a truck accident,
contact our experienced North Carolina truck accident lawyers. We can help
advise you of your rights and represent your best interests.
- Every 16 minutes, a person is killed or
sustains injuries in accidents involving 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers or
semi-trucks
- Large trucks are more likely to be
involved in a fatal multi-vehicle crash than are passenger vehicles.
- Trucking revenues totaled $610 billion
last year and revenues are forecasted to nearly double by 2015.
We will never know how many motorists have been
“lucky” enough to have escaped a catastrophic encounter with a big rig. How many
passenger vehicles are confronted daily by aggressive, fatigued truck drivers
pulling a 13 hour shift in order to make a professional wage and meet tight
deadlines? How many semi trucks on the highway are operating despite failed
roadside inspections? Which drivers have cheated on their Hours of Service
logbooks? Even with these frightening scenarios and statistics, powerful
trucking industry lobbyists continue to call for the weakening of truck safety
rules and regulations to reap a higher profit.
