Truck Accidents
Protecting Your Rights in Truck Accident Litigation
Aside from the fact that they both occur on highways, truck accidents have little in common with car accidents, at least from the legal perspective. In order to protect your rights and interests in the aftermath of a serious semi truck accident, you should seek the advice of a personal injury lawyer experienced with the proof of liability and damages against large corporations and their insurers. Contact the Peebles Law Firm in Winston-Salem for a free consultation about your rights and legal options.

Here are some of the important ways truck accidents differ from car accidents:
- The defendant's insurance coverage limits are likely to start at $1 million
- Federal regulations cover many aspects of a commercial truck's operation, inspection and maintenance
- Truck drivers' hours of operation are also restricted by federal regulations
- The defendant is likely to represented by teams of large-firm trial lawyers who specialize in complex commercial vehicle litigation
- Proof of violations of the federal safety regulations can give you an advantage in proving liability
- Your damages claims will likely be sharply disputed, even in the most serious injury cases
At the Peebles Law Firm, we have the experience and litigation skills necessary to stand up to the trucking industry and its insurers. Our thorough approach to the evaluation and documentation of your damages claims can protect you from low settlement offers and the delaying tactics intended to force you to accept them.
Because truck accidents frequently result in fatalities, disabling spinal injuries, or severe or permanent brain trauma, you need a lawyer who can present the evidence of your injuries and your needs for future treatment in terms that the defense can't ignore. Our careful attention to proof of your damages can give you a distinct advantage.
The attorneys of the Peebles Law Firm also enjoy an excellent reputation as trial lawyers, which enhances your bargaining leverage toward a fair settlement. If you need representation in high-stakes litigation resulting from an 18-wheeler accident, contact a seasoned trial lawyer at our Rogers House office in Winston-Salem.
