Personal Injury car motorcycle trucking accidents

Personal Injury car motorcycle trucking accidents

Our firm has handled significant personal injury claims since its inception.  Our civil attorneys currently represent numerous individuals who were killed or badly injured as a result of the negligent conduct of others, resulting in substantial monetary recoveries.  Many involve fatal tractor- trailer,   motorcycle, automobile, and deaths from tankers that are transporting hazardous chemicals.

Our firm routinely works with insurance companies and adjusters to timely settle automobile accident cases where fault is admitted. However, in many cases, amicable settlements cannot be reached, and our firm is required to file and litigate the matters in court.  Some of the cases we have been involved in litigating recently include:

  • The death of an innocent driver taking his wife to the doctor who died when a tractor trailer pulled from the highway directly into his path in the non-passing lane of I-85. The investigating officer cited our client to be at fault.  We were able to prove the investigating officer’s report was inaccurate, and that our client was unable to avoid the collision.  Sadly, the wife who survived is totally disabled from her injuries.
  • The death of a young worker at a convenience store who was tragically killed when he was struck while walking across the parking lot by an out of state trucker. We filed this case and secured significant recovery for the young man’s family.
  • The severe injury of a young man driving a truck who was broadsided in a severe collision, and remained a coma for weeks.
  • The death of a young truck driver who picked up grain at the Wilmington Port and died upon unloading it from respiratory distress. He was not warned or properly advised of the potential toxicity of the grain he was transporting.  The case is still in litigation against defendant, Smithfield Foods, that was directly involved in the purchase and distribution of the grain, and who failed to warn the driver and others of the potential hazards of its’ product. 
  • The death of a motorcycle driver, a business owner and popular community figure, who was originally cited as responsible for the accident that took his life. Our firm was able to overcome the investigating officer’s failure to property assign fault to the responsible party, and achieve recovery for this family.
