In our experience, commercial trucking accidents are more likely to involve serious or catastrophic injuries resulting in overwhelming medical bills, long-term inability to work and severe pain and suffering.
Truck accident cases where people are hurt badly or die can involve complicated insurance issues. Also, there are the state and federal laws and agencies that regulate commercial trucking to consider. Successfully handling these situations can require a high level of skill and experience.

One of the most common causes of serious and fatal truck accidents is truckers driving more hours than they are supposed to. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sets strict guidelines regarding driver rest periods, and if drivers or trucking companies violate these regulations, they can be held liable for any accident caused by driver fatigue.
Other types of negligence can also result in a truck accident, including poor maintenance, equipment failure, speeding and driver inexperience or drug and alcohol use. In many of these cases, trucking companies try to insulate themselves from liability by hiding behind confusing layered insurance policies.
The experienced North Carolina truck accident lawyers at Hefferon & Hefferon will pursue all those who are liable for your accident, from drivers and trucking companies to tractor or trailer owners, manufacturers and maintenance companies.
