Charlotte, North Carolina Truck Accident Lawyers
Semi Truck Wreck • Tractor Trailer Crash
Due to their sheer weight and size, accidents involving trucks, buses or other large motor vehicles can easily have catastrophic consequences. In Charlotte, we are located in a hub where a number of interstate highways connect, or merge, such as I-77, I-85 and I-485. The highways, as well as other area roadways, are heavily traveled by commercial motor vehicles, resulting in an unfortunate number of serious vehicle accidents.
Because of the danger of operating commercial motor vehicles, both state and federal law set forth standards and requirements relating to the operation of commercial motor vehicles on the roadways. In many instances, accidents can be linked to the failure of the driver and/or trucking company to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, it is important to select a law firm familiar with the applicable laws and regulations, such as those relating to the number of hours a commercial motor vehicle driver can drive; the training and qualifications of the driver; the oversight and supervision of the driver; and the maintenance and repair of the commercial motor vehicle. The Charlotte, North Carolina personal injury law firm of Warren & Kallianos has handled a large number of commercial motor vehicle cases including:
