STATEWIDE ACCIDENT DATA
According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, there were over 5,200 truck-related crashes in 2021, resulting in more than 2,000 injuries and 100 fatalities. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) noted that North Carolina has a violation rate of approximately 25% for inspectors on commercial trucks during routine checks. Tragically, the state experiences a steady increase in truck accidents annually, underscoring the need for specialized legal support.
NC STATE LAW & DEADLINES
In North Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including truck accidents, is three years from the date of the accident. The state follows modified comparative fault rules, meaning if you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages. Unique regulations such as stricter inspection requirements for commercial vehicles can also impact liability. Additionally, North Carolina's dram shop laws apply, allowing recovery from establishments serving alcohol to visibly intoxicated individuals contributing to an accident, thus potentially increasing the value of claims.
HIGH-RISK CORRIDORS
Commercial truck accidents commonly occur on major highways such as I-85, I-40, and US-421, especially around high-traffic interchanges in cities like Charlotte and Greensboro. The notorious Route 74 corridor sees a significant number of freight trucks, posing risks to passenger vehicles. These routes are essential for transporting goods but also present challenges due to congestion and high commercial vehicle traffic.
