Commercial Vehicle Accidents

When an accident involves a commercial truck or other commercial vehicle, it is important to involve the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. The business responsible for the commercial vehicle faces potentially very significant financial exposure as a result of the accident and will involve its own team of experts, accident reconstruction specialists, investigators, and attorneys. Their focus is to deflect responsibility for the crash and minimize the compensation paid out for injuries or casualties.

At Stafford & Heafner, PC, we provide clients with peace of mind from knowing there are options available and that their interests are protected. If you or a loved one has been involved in a semi truck accident or other commercial truck accident in North Carolina, contact the personal injury attorneys at Stafford & Heafner, PC for a free initial consultation.

Our attorneys have the experience and resources necessary to handle complex commercial vehicle accident cases, including personal injury and wrongful death claims arising from:

Accidents involving commercial vehicles often involve interwoven liability issues. Although the company that employed the driver is liable for negligence of the driver, other parties may also be held responsible. The owner and operator of a big rig cab and trailer are frequently not the same. Both parties may be considered liable. We also examine whether maintenance was outsourced to a third party vendor and evaluate other important business relationships that may affect liability.

Experienced. Dedicated. Driven.

Whether the commercial truck accident was caused by truck driver fatigue, a poorly maintained commercial vehicle, or driver negligence, we get to the bottom of the case and pursue the full amount of compensation our client is entitled to for their injuries or losses.

Due to the differential vehicle size and speed involved in accidents with commercial trucks, surviving victims frequently endure life-altering, debilitating injuries, such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and amputation. Stafford & Heafner, PC has the resources and experience to assess your case and pursue the full amount of economic and non-economic damages our clients are entitled.
