Your Morganton personal injury lawyer will begin by identifying your unique needs. For instance, you may not know what losses you can claim. We’ll help you understand all of your compensable losses, such as:
- All medical expenses related to your injuries from the accident date to the present, as well as any future expenses your medical team foresees
- Wages lost during your recovery period
- Reduced earning capacity if your injuries change your ability to work at the same income level
- Loss of future earnings and benefits if your injuries prevent your return to work

- Temporary or long-term physical pain and mental anguish due to your injuries
- Emotional and physical needs associated with a disability
- Trauma due to disfigurement
- Property damage requiring repair or replacement
Our team will help you file your personal injury claim or lawsuit and negotiate with the liable party’s insurance company for a fair settlement. If negotiations don’t produce a payout that meets your needs, we may seek a compensation judgment or verdict through the courts. Contact Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, today to learn more.
Identifying the Commercial Truck Accident’s Liable Party or Parties
Identifying the liable party in an auto accident involving two passenger vehicles is often straightforward. However, when a commercial truck is involved, it immediately becomes more complicated. If a Walmart truck crashes into your vehicle, an investigation may be necessary to determine which individual or company is responsible for your losses. The liable party or parties may include one or more of the following:
- An independent truck driver who operated their vehicle while impaired, fatigued, or distracted
- The truck driver’s employer, which may be Walmart or another entity
- A trucking company that ignored safe scheduling or training
- A truck or truck parts manufacturer that produced a defective part or was negligent in the truck’s construction
- A truck maintenance crew or company that performed subpar maintenance on the rig
- Cargo loaders who did not secure or balance the load properly
- A local government that did not perform proper maintenance on the roads
To assign fault and liability, your personal injury attorney will investigate to prove these four elements of negligence:
- The defendant(s) owed you a duty to act with reasonable care to prevent harm.
- The defendant(s) breached that duty of care and behaved negligently.
- The breach of duty caused the accident and your injury.
- The accident and injury caused you to sustain losses.
Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit After a Truck Crash in Morganton
Many personal injury compensation claims are settled before a trial begins. However, if negotiations with the liable party’s insurance company fail, you generally have three years from the accident date to begin legal action in North Carolina, per N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52.
There are some exceptions to the statute of limitations, although they are rare. Your Morganton Walmart delivery truck accident attorney at Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC can discuss your case’s deadline with you in detail.
