Large trucks and eighteen-wheelers are some of the most dangerous vehicles on the road. If they are not operated or maintained appropriately, then they can put motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists at serious risk of injury. If you are hurt in an accident involving a large truck or eighteen-wheeler, then you may be able to bring a civil claim for damages against the parties responsible for the accident. For many victims of this type of accident, the injuries can be extensive and even life-altering. If you are overwhelmed by the idea of pursuing your legal right to compensation, then you should speak with a personal injury lawyer at Maurer Law about how a Raleigh truck accident lawyer can help you.

Recently, a large truck overturned on Interstate 85 near Hillsborough, according to a local news report. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol investigated the accident and concluded that the eighteen-wheeler ran off the right side of the road and struck a guardrail near Exit 163. The accident caused the trailer to detach from the cab. The trailer fell down into an embankment alongside the road. Law enforcement officials also stated that the trailer contained blankets and comforters. The driver did not receive any injuries as a result of the crash and no other bystanders were injured.

Although no one was hurt in this situation, it highlights the dangers of trucks on the roadway. The blankets and comforters loaded into the truck may have been a factor in the crash. If cargo is not loaded properly or if a vehicle is overloaded, then it can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. If another vehicle or pedestrian had been in the vicinity when the trailer dislodged from the tractor, then it could have led to a serious accident.

A car accident can be incredibly confusing for the victim in other ways, too. Knowing whether insurance companies are treating you fairly, figuring out how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit, and calculating the amount of damages you are eligible to receive can make the situation seem impossible. Fortunately, you can contact Maurer Law to learn about how a Raleigh car accident lawyer can help you secure the financial recovery that you deserve.

A recent news story highlights one of the more peculiar accidents that have happened in North Carolina. In Glendale, a six-year-old boy drove his parents’ truck into a neighbor’s home. The truck struck the side of the house where a bedroom was located and flung one of the residents from her bed, causing her to hit the closet door. The woman has suffered a number of injuries as a result of the impact.

According to authorities investigating the situation, the boy took his father’s car keys from a counter while the father was getting ready for work. He was able to drive the vehicle all the way to the end of the street before causing the crash. As a result of the accident, the home has suffered serious damage and a nearby gas line was broken, creating an imminent threat of an explosion or fire.
