Raleigh Truck Accident Lawyers

Were You Hit by a Big Rig? We Want to Help You File for Compensation.

Accidents with large trucks tend to be devastating for those in passenger vehicles. Often at high speeds, and with the extreme weight and size difference between semi-trailers and autos, these collisions are much more likely to result in the injury or even death of those who are not protected by the bulk of a heavy truck. Those who were in such an accident by no fault of their own deserve the chance for justice.

Lanier Law Group was founded in 1997 and has spent the 20+ years since helping accident victims recover compensation. When complicated or difficult cases come our way, we are prepared to put in the work for our clients. In fact, we file more lawsuits than other personal injury firms to show defendants just how serious we are. Finding the right Raleigh truck accident lawyer is essential to maximizing your compensation. Our team cares deeply about helping clients find the best way forward after their lives are disrupted by serious injuries.

Call our firm today at (919) 583-6414 to schedule your free consultation. If you can’t come to us, we can come to you anywhere in or around the Raleigh area.

When Can I File a Claim After a Truck Accident?

If you were injured in a truck accident that was not your fault, you are likely eligible to file a claim for compensation. Truck accidents can be caused by driver error, like other crashes, or may have more complex origins.

Truck Driver Error

Truck drivers can spend up to 10 hours each day on the road. Anyone who has been behind the wheel for that long knows how draining it can be. Negligent drivers may cause accidents because of:

  • Distractions such as texting, eating, or drinking
  • Fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel
  • Intoxication
  • Poor judgment
  • Speeding or other traffic violations

Third-Party Driver Error

It’s not always the driver of the big rig that’s at fault in an accident. Multi-vehicle accidents may happen when another driver acts negligently, forcing the truck driver to make a dangerous maneuver or creating an unavoidable obstacle.

Truck Defects

Truck drivers may also lose control due to defects they have no control over. These include:

    "20 out of 10 stars."
    There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it's interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don't have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

    "Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"
    I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

    "So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"
    Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
