Our Asheville U-Haul Truck Accident Attorneys Build a Strong Case for Justice
Truck accident cases work somewhat differently from most crash claims. We usually do not pursue a case against the negligent driver alone. Instead, we also file a claim or lawsuit against their employer. U-Haul can be held responsible for a crash caused by one of their truck drivers when:
- The driver is a U-Haul employee acting within the scope of their employment.
- The driver was negligent, causing the accident.
- U-Haul failed to properly train, supervise, or screen the driver.
- The crash resulted from faulty vehicle maintenance or unsafe equipment owned by U-Haul.
- Company instructions or policies contributed to unsafe conditions.
- U-Haul controlled the driver’s actions or route at the time of the accident.
If the driver is an independent renter, U-Haul’s liability may be limited. However, they could still be responsible if the company acted negligently by renting to someone unqualified to drive the vehicle or they failed to provide adequate vehicle maintenance, and this caused the crash.
Our Asheville U-Haul truck wreck lawyers will investigate your accident to identify all potentially liable parties. We will develop a compelling case to show who is legally responsible for your injuries and damages and hold them accountable.

Steps Our Asheville Attorneys Take After a U-Haul Truck Accident
When you hire our team for your U-Haul truck accident case, we will take the necessary steps to develop a compelling argument and seek fair compensation. These steps include preserving evidence and building a case by:
- Obtaining the police accident report
- Collecting photographs and videos of the crash and relevant aspects of the scene
- Interviewing eyewitnesses and all involved parties
- Requesting video footage, if available
- Securing U-Haul’s vehicle maintenance records
- Obtaining a copy of the driver’s rental agreement when relevant
- Reviewing driver logs, driving history, and training records for employees
- Gathering relevant medical records
- Consulting with accident reconstruction experts, if needed
- Exploring any potential vehicle defects or mechanical failures
- Documenting expenses and losses
It is often possible to use strong evidence to reach a fair settlement. When necessary, we will not back down from suing the rental driver, U-Haul, or any other party. We have a limited time to sue, which includes three years for injuries (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52) and two years for wrongful death (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-53).
When we need to, an Asheville U-Haul truck collision lawyer from our team can take your case to trial and fight for the money you deserve.
