Maryland Injury Compensation Lawyer Helping Tractor Trailer Accident Victims in Annapolis, Baltimore, Columbia and Silver Spring

With its location in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, Maryland has many roads used by interstate truckers. All too often on roadways throughout Maryland, truck drivers act in ways that are negligent or reckless. Truck drivers and their employers must be held accountable for the harm they cause. At Greenberg & Stone, P.A., this is our goal. Our team of Maryland truck accident lawyers and support staff work together to help clients nationwide take effective legal action in state and federal courts.

Trucking in Maryland

Intrastate trucking brings goods between different places in Maryland, such as Annapolis, Baltimore, Bethesda and Dundalk, while interstate trucking transfers goods between the state and the rest of the country. Many of these trucks travel on I-95 along the east coast. Others use I-70 for trucking, as well as I-270, I-66, I-695 and Highway 40.

How We Can Help You

Maryland truck accident cases are often more complex than other types of motor vehicle cases. Truck accident litigation involves numerous federal regulations as well as state and local laws. They may also involve a number of different responsible parties who may own different portions of the truck and reside in different states. Another reason why truck accident litigation is so complex is because federal regulations require commercial vehicles to carry extensive insurance policies. This is a good thing for victims of truck accidents, because it ensures that there will be sufficient money to pay for medical expenses and lost income. On the other hand, large insurance policies mean that the insurance companies will fight tooth and nail to limit the amounts they will have to pay.

This can make litigation and the securing of fair injury compensation very complicated. However, the attorneys at Greenberg & Stone are well prepared for the challenge. Our attorneys offer more than a combined 60 years of litigation and trial experience. Through our nationwide network of associated law firms, we handle truck accident litigation for Maryland accident victims, as well as those across the country.

Trucking in North Carolina

North Carolina is an integral part of the Eastern Seaboard traffic corridor. Eighteen-wheeler trucks make heavy use of North Carolina freeways like I-95 to transport commercial goods along one of the United States' major north-south routes. Unfortunately, the Eastern Seaboard traffic corridor carries high-volume passenger traffic as well. When cars and tractor trailers share the roadway, major accidents are bound to happen.

The trial attorneys of Greenberg & Stone offer free and private consultations in North Carolina truck accident cases to people throughout the state, including Charlotte, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Greensboro and Winston-Salem.

Investigating the Causes of Truck Accidents

Tractor trailer accidents can have many causes, which means that a personal injury claim following a North Carolina truck accident may involve multiple defendants. The trucking industry is a complex web of relationships among truck drivers, semi truck owners, transportation companies and truck maintenance corporations. Each company and individual is responsible in some way for the safe operation of these massive vehicles, which can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds.

It is your attorney's job to spearhead a thorough and independent investigation into all possible and actual causes of the accident, including driver fatigue, overloading, hazardous road conditions, reckless driving, maintenance failures and errors in design of truck components. At Greenberg & Stone, that process begins with our Rapid Response Team — professionals who can travel immediately to the scene of any North Carolina truck accident to interview witnesses, advocate for the accident victims and begin to collect all necessary evidence and witness statements.
