Our South Gastonia Truck Accident Attorneys Will Fight For Your Financial Recovery
Building a strong personal injury claim after a truck accident can be a detailed legal process. While you could attempt to resolve your claim independently, doing so can be time-consuming, stressful, and full of complex legal and insurance jargon.
Our South Gastonia commercial vehicle accident lawyers will describe the potential timeline for your truck crash claim and provide updates as your case progresses. Truck accident cases like yours rarely go to court, but if yours does, we will not hesitate to represent you in trial and keep fighting for the compensation you need and deserve.
Our Personal Injury Attorneys Will Take Time to Assess Your Recoverable Damages Accurately
We know it can be tempting to resolve your case quickly, but we also know the danger of a speedy settlement. Rushing to a settlement without accurately assessing and documenting your claim could result in a smaller payment than you are entitled to recover.
When we request compensation for you, we will account for all the accident’s costs and wait for the documents that support your compensation request to come in.

Our Experienced Lawyers Are Committed to Providing Excellent Service at No Upfront Cost to You
Our goal is excellence in legal representation at every phase of your case. We will represent you on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront or out of your pocket and only compensate our personal injury law firm when we recover damages for you.

When the Truck Driver Is Liable
If a truck accident results from driver error—distracted driving, driving under the influence, speeding, etc.—liability can fall to the truck driver. We will typically file a claim against their insurance company if the driver is an independent contractor.
When to Pursue the Trucking Company
The truck driver’s employer is liable if the driver was acting within the scope of their employment when the crash occurred. We will also pursue the truck company’s insurance carrier if the company failed to properly vet or train the driver.
When a Truck-Related Facility Could Be the At-Fault Party
Trucks are massive, complex vehicles that require ongoing maintenance to get and stay roadworthy. We can pursue the facility responsible for repairing and maintaining the truck if it failed to provide adequate maintenance.
Similarly, we can seek compensation from a cargo loading facility if improperly loaded or balanced cargo caused the accident.
When to Pursue the Truck or Parts Manufacturer
If your South Gastonia truck crash resulted from a design or manufacturing flaw or fault, we will seek fair compensation from the truck’s manufacturer. We may pursue the parts manufacturer if a flawed or faulty truck component caused the accident. This can include the maker of the truck’s tires, windshield wipers, brakes, etc.
Damages Our South Gastonia Truck Accident Lawyers Can Pursue for You
Compensation for a truck accident includes multiple types of damages. The economic damages you may recover include:
- Past and future medical bills
- Past and future lost wages
- Property damage or destruction
- Diminished vehicle resale value
The non-economic damages you may recover include:
- Disabling and disfiguring injuries
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Our South Gastonia wrongful death lawyers also pursue damages for surviving families, including funeral expenses, loss of the decedent’s financial and domestic contributions, and loss of consortium, companionship, and care.
Our Legal Support Means You Can File Your Truck Accident Lawsuit on Time
You generally have three years to file your personal injury lawsuit (G.S. § 1-52) or two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit (G.S. § 1-53) in South Gastonia. Failure to file your lawsuit on time could mean you cannot file at all. Your truck accident attorney will file it for you on time and in the appropriate court.
