Truck Accidents in North Carolina
Interstate 85 is one of North Carolina’s busiest highways, carrying significant commercial and commuter traffic daily. Accidents involving trucks on major highways like I-85 can lead to severe disruptions and increased risks for drivers. Factors such as distracted driving, high speeds, and sudden lane changes often contribute to crashes in high-traffic areas.
Truck-involved accidents frequently result in serious injuries due to the size and weight disparity between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles. While many truck accidents are caused by driver error, mechanical failures, adverse weather, and road conditions also play a role.
For those injured in truck-related crashes, the financial and emotional burden can be overwhelming. Seeking medical attention, documenting the incident, and consulting with a legal professional can help individuals navigate their recovery process and explore their options for compensation.
