Charlotte Truck Accident Lawyer

Charlotte Truck Accident Attorney

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), most truck accidents are caused by excessive speeding, drifting across lanes and running off the road. Driver fatigue is another common factor that leads to truck accidents.

At the law office of DeVore, Acton Stafford, P.A., in Charlotte, our lawyers work with experts in accident reconstruction in determining the cause of a truck accident. We analyze data from a semi truck’s onboard black box recorder, measure skid marks, interview witnesses and review the driver’s logbook. We also review the maintenance manifest of a vehicle and the driver’s drug test results and driving record, as well as the conditions of the road where the accident happened.

We understand the trucking industry and won’t be misled or deterred by tactics used by drivers and their employers to deflect blame. To schedule an appointment and discuss your case, contact truck accident attorneys at the law office of DeVore, Acton Stafford, P.A. today.
