Raleigh Truck Accident Attorney

Truck Driver Negligence Lawyer in North Carolina

Throughout the Raleigh, Durham, and Fayetteville areas, highways and roadways are dense with semi trucks that are hauling large loads of product across the country. This large number of trucks also means a higher rate of trucking accidents that are serious enough to cause permanent injuries or death.

At the Law Office of Charles M. Putterman, I personally meet with clients who have been injured in a trucking accident. With over 30 years of experience, I am able to quickly assess the situation and determine if it may be possible for us to recover compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering that may have resulted from your brain injury, spinal cord injury, or other injury sustained in a truck accident.

Causes of Trucking Accidents

There are many different causes of trucking accidents. I am committed to getting to the truth about the cause of the trucking accident in which you were injured, which can include:

• Driver fatigue (or falling asleep at the wheel)
• Reckless driving or speeding
• Distracted driving
• Unbalanced cargo
• Overloaded cargo
• Improper truck maintenance

As an experienced truck accident lawyer, I can utilize investigators to determine the cause of the accident. Once a cause has been established, it can be determined who is responsible for the accident. Tracking down each commercial entity to assign responsibility can be a challenge. My office takes the time to determine if the truck leasing company, the driver, the driver's employer, and/or the owner of the products being shipped should be held responsible for the injuries you have suffered.

For more information or to schedule a consultation with me, contact my office today. During your first appointment, I can evaluate your case and present the potential avenues of resolution that we may use when seeking compensation for your injuries.
