Kirby & Holt - North Carolina Truck Accident Lawyer
The Raleigh personal injury and fatal accident law firm of Kirby & Holt restricts its practice to seeking and recovering compensation for seriously injured victims or the surviving families of those killed in fatal accidents. If you or someone in your family needs legal advice about a serious or fatal trucking accident, whether it involves a semi tractor-trailer combination or commercial vans, contact an experienced North Carolina truck accident attorney at our firm.
We can represent truck accident victims and their families in cases involving:
- Big rigs, 18-wheelers, and semi tractor-trailer combinations
- Parcel trucks, commercial vans, company pickups, and rental trucks
- Flatbeds, including logging trucks, pipe haulers, and agricultural trucks
- Construction vehicles, including dump trucks, gravel haulers, and utility or maintenance vehicles
- Tanker trucks and hazardous materials haulers
Our familiarity with the investigation and proof of violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations can help establish the liability of the driver or his employer in a serious or fatal truck accident case. We analyze driver logs, maintenance and inspections records, and the trucking company's hiring, training, and safety compliance records to see whether any safety violations might be presented to the insurers or to the jury. Meanwhile, the experienced truck accident and commercial vans liability attorneys of Kirby & Holt understand that proof of an obvious defendant's liability might represent only part of the battle.
Whether a truck accident was caused by a negligent logging truck driver or a fatigued over-the-road equipment hauler, we analyze all of the circumstances of the wreck to make sure that every responsible defendant is identified and called to account.
In some cases, this will mean that a lessor of the tractor or a corporate partner in a national transfer company will be added as a defendant, with additional resources available to cover our client’s claims. In other cases, we'll find that not only was a negligent truck driver at fault, but that a manufacturer of a defective safety component is also responsible for the truck accident and our client’s injuries.
In every case, we emphasize the development and presentation of the damages side of the personal injury equation. Our full-time medical records and nursing staff will work closely with our clients’ treating physicians and rehabilitation therapists to make sure that our understanding of their physical condition, prognosis for recovery, and prospects for future surgeries or nursing care is as complete and accurate as possible.
