Greensboro Truck Accident Lawyer

shutterstock_495673

The Greensboro truck accident lawyers at Auger & Auger have been representing victims and their families in truck accident claims for over 20 years. With two major interstate highways crisscrossing through Greensboro, massive 18-wheeler trucks are common on the road and because semi-trucks cannot accelerate, decelerate, or maneuver like a car, truck accidents can be very serious and even fatal.

After an accident with a tractor trailer truck, box truck, or other large utility truck, victims are left not only with physical injuries, but often times with the psychological scars of being hit by something so massive, and perhaps narrowly escaping with their lives. At Auger & Auger, we are compassionate to all of our client’s injuries, and can even help you find the medical care you need. We provide every client with personal attention and handle all aspects of their case so that they may concentrate on their recovery.  While clients are focusing on their medical treatment, we immediately begin conducting our own investigation into the facts surrounding their case. With so much at stake, you can be sure that the insurance company for the at-fault truck will be conducting their own investigation in effort to minimize any potential settlements. Our Greensboro truck accident attorneys will work to protect your rights and get you the settlement you deserve.

How Dangerous Greensboro Truck Wrecks Happen

  • Jackknifing occurs when the cab brakes, causing the weight of the trailer to push the cab forward and then distorting it backwards. The truck driver therefore loses all control of the vehicle.
  • Rear-end collisions occur when the cab tries to brake, but the weight of the trailer pushes the cab forward into the vehicle in front.
  • Turning a corner in an 18 wheeler can be difficult, especially on narrow roads. Some truck drivers miscalculate the space they have to make a turn or fail to see other cars or pedestrians.
  • Trucks are more vulnerable to rolling over because the weight of the trailer is not low to the ground.
  • Unsecure loads can fall of the truck, causing major damage or serious accidents to surrounding vehicles.

Truck Accident Claims Are Complex

Tractor trailers were involved in 3,432 North Carolina accidents in 2012 alone, with 991 of those accidents involving injuries, as stated by the North Carolina Traffic Crash Facts. The sheer size and weight alone can make an accident with an 8-wheeler deadly. If you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident, you need to act fast. Because many tractor trailers are owned by larger trucking companies, they often have the resources to hire investigators and lawyers to gather evidence in a case against you so the trucking company does not have to pay what can a large amount of damages. Truck accident claims can be even more problematical if other parties are involved, such as the truck driver or the company that leases the trailer to the trucking company.

The list of prior client settlement results and client reviews/testimonials, do not constitute a promise of any particular result in any particular case, as each and every case is unique. Each case was handled on its own merit, and the outcome of any case cannot be predicted by a lawyer or law firms past results.

If a recovery or settlement by trial is made, the client will be responsible for costs advanced in addition to attorney fees. Client remains responsible for costs, expenses and disbursements, including medical bills, within the scope of representation. The attorney’s contingency percentage will be computed prior to the deduction of expenses from the total recovery.
