Tragic fatalities caused by truck accidents occur all too frequently in North Carolina, taking countless lives each year. These catastrophic incidents can inflict severe injuries or even claim the lives of innocent individuals who share the road. If you have experienced the devastating loss of a loved one due to a fatal truck accident, it may be possible to pursue financial compensation from the party responsible. Determining liability becomes crucial following a fatal truck accident, as there may be multiple parties accountable for the incident.
One potential liable party is the truck driver. If their negligence or carelessness while operating the truck led to the accident, they could be held accountable for any resulting harm or injuries sustained.
The trucking company that employs the driver could also face liability. If the company displayed negligence in maintaining the vehicle or knowingly hired an inexperienced or hazardous driver, they can be held responsible for any accidents that ensue.
Additionally, if the accident resulted from a defective truck component, the manufacturer of that specific part may be held liable. In the event of a truck accident, it is vital to consult an experienced attorney who can aid in determining fault and assist you in obtaining the rightful compensation you deserve.
