Fatal Truck Crashes in North Carolina
Unfortunately, North Carolina sees far too many tragic automobile accidents. A significant number of these involve semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles. If you have lost a family member in a truck accident, you have the option to pursue a wrongful death claim against those responsible. In these cases, there are several parties who could potentially be held accountable for the damages your family has suffered:
- Truck Driver: If the driver was negligent, they can be held responsible for the consequences.
- Trucking Company: If the company hires an unqualified driver, they can be held liable.
- Vehicle Manufacturer: If faulty parts contributed to the accident, the manufacturer may be at fault.
- Maintenance Contractors: If proper upkeep wasn’t maintained, they could share liability.
- Government Entities: If road conditions or signage played a role, the government might bear responsibility.
