Truck accidents in NC involve commercial vehicles such as tractor-trailers and delivery trucks. Because of their size and weight, these crashes often cause severe or fatal injuries. Liability can be complex, involving the driver, trucking company, maintenance contractors, or even manufacturers. Compensation may include immediate medical costs, long-term care, lost wages, property damage, and wrongful death benefits if a loved one is killed. Federal trucking regulations also play a role in determining negligence.
