Protecting Your Interests After a Truck Accident in NC
Truck accidents often involve significant damage claims that can cost millions of dollars. With a significant amount of money at stake, the insurance companies that cover big rigs will do almost anything to limit their liability and pay you less money than you deserve.
Our job as truck accident attorneys is to collect and preserve evidence of truck driver and/or trucking company liability; evidence we will then use to press for the full compensation to which you are entitled.
Examples of evidence in a truck accident case include:
- History of the driver
- Maintenance history of the truck and trailer
- Driver logbooks
- Fuel and food receipts to determine if logbooks are accurate
- Truck GPS equipment (if so equipped) to determine what actions the driver took before the accident
The trucking industry is highly regulated to reduce the risk of injury to other drivers. For example, truck drivers may only drive a maximum of 10 hours after 8 consecutive hours of rest to help prevent accidents caused by driver fatigue. However, some drivers routinely violate hours-of-service laws since they earn money only when their rigs are rolling.
If our lawyers can uncover evidence of truck safety violations by the driver or the trucking company, your case will become much stronger.

The Opinions that Matter Most
-
Prompt, thorough, understanding and knowledgeable, are only a few of the adjectives that describe Jetton & Meredith. Fabulous lawyers, highly recommend for any family law cases!!- Former Client

Eric Meredith represented me during what turned out to be a lengthy divorce settlement. During the first meeting, he fully explained the process ahead and answered all my questions and concerns. I still remember the feeling of relief after that meeting knowing I had a true professional in my corner. Eric, along with his Paralegal Julie, kept me updated along the way and were quick to respond with any additional issues. Not only did he call with any updates to the case, he also would ask how I was doing. I cannot recommend Eric at Jetton & Meredith enough.- Tim
-
I highly recommend Mark. I hired him to handle a simple assault charge that was filed against me. Mark handled it professionally and expeditiously. He explained each step in the process, and everything happened just as he described. He is exactly the type of lawyer you want representing you.- J&M Client

I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith, with my case being a little more complicated I had the opportunity to work with both Mr. Jetton and Mr. Meredith. I can say they know their stuff, Mr. Jetton was able to get my case dismissed the first time we went to court, no questions asked. Working with Mr. Meredith was a longer process but he walked me through the steps and gave me realistic expectations of an outcome that he was able to provide just as he stated he would do. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to hire Jetton & Meredith as my attorneys, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney!- Former Client
