Why are North and South Carolina’s Highways a Hotbed for Tractor-Trailer Wrecks?

Should I hire an experienced tractor-trailer personal injury attorney?

Tractor-trailer wrecks are complex. You should consult an attorney that is experienced in trucking litigation if you have been injured by a tractor trailer. Tractor-trailer wrecks are frequent in North and South Carolina because of our common industries that require tractor-trailer use, including logging and shipping. There are also a lot of highways that trucks travel to get to their destinations. In Wadesboro alone, there are Highway 52, Highway 74, Highway 109, Highway 742, all of which are major trucking highways. In Wilmington, there are I-40, I-440, Highway 74, Highway 17 and Highway 421.
