SEMI TRUCK ACCIDENTS

Charlotte Truck Accident Attorney

At the LawyerPower Office of Mark Farbman in Charlotte, we understand how devastating a collision with a large commercial truck can be. These massive vehicles are essential to our economy—moving over 70% of the nation’s freight—but when accidents happen, the consequences for other drivers can be catastrophic. Due to their sheer size and weight, trucks often cause serious injuries or fatalities in a crash.

After a truck accident, recovering fair compensation is rarely simple. Trucking companies and their insurers move fast to protect themselves, often at your expense. They may deploy teams to the crash scene, tamper with or hide evidence, and quickly repair the vehicle to limit liability.

This is why you need legal representation immediately. Our firm is here to protect your rights, preserve critical evidence, and fight for the full compensation you deserve. Call us at (704) 542-1555 or use our online contact form to get started.

Why Hire a Lawyer After a Truck Accident?

Truck accident claims are high-stakes and complex. Our legal team takes a comprehensive, aggressive approach to handle every part of your case:

  • Secure the scene and evidence: We take photos, record video, document the crash site, and gather key physical evidence.
  • Find and interview witnesses: We track down anyone who saw the crash and get detailed statements to support your claim.
  • Protect the truck and its data: Through court orders, we ensure the truck is preserved so our experts can inspect it before it’s altered or repaired.
  • Investigate mechanical failure: Our specialists review the truck’s brakes, tires, and other systems and pull electronic data from the truck’s black box.
  • Reconstruct the crash: We work with respected accident reconstruction experts to determine exactly how the crash happened and who’s responsible.
  • Stop evidence destruction: We act fast to secure logbooks, maintenance records, and other documentation before they disappear.

Our job is to uncover the truth, preserve your rights, and pursue maximum compensation. We don’t let trucking companies push you around—and we’re not afraid to take them to court if that’s what it takes.

What to Do After a Truck Accident

What you do immediately after a truck accident can make or break your claim. Here’s what we recommend:

  1. Stay at the scene and call 911. Don’t leave. Wait for emergency responders. The police will file a report that’s critical to your case. Medical teams can treat injuries and document them from the start.
  2. Prioritize medical attention. Even if your injuries seem minor, get checked out. Some injuries get worse over time. Waiting too long could hurt both your health and your case.
  3. Call a lawyer—fast. Trucking companies have legal teams on standby. You should too. An experienced truck accident lawyer knows how to deal with their tactics and protect your claim from the start.
  4. Collect evidence. Take photos, get witness names, save medical records, and keep any receipts. The more documentation, the stronger your case.

Every truck accident is different, and the outcome depends on how your case is handled. Let our team guide you through it and fight for what you’re owed.
