It’s every motorist’s worse nightmare – being involved in a crash with a large truck. With so many tractor-trailers and other heavy trucks on Interstate 85, U.S. 74, U.S. 321 and other roads around Shelby, it’s a prospect that could easily become reality.
If you’ve been hurt in a truck crash – or if you have lost a loved one in a fatal truck wreck – you need an experienced truck accident attorney to stand up for your rights. Cases over truck crashes are often more complex than accidents that involve only cars. Here are a few reasons why:

- Severe injuries often mean more money is at stake.
- Many companies may be held liable for a truck crash, depending on the circumstances.
- The companies and their insurers will likely put up a strong fight to minimize their losses.
- Trucking is heavily regulated. Violations could play a role in who’s at fault.
- Big trucks often have data recorders (black boxes) that could provide crucial data.
