How Much Does a Failure to Maintain Lawyer Cost?

We work on a contingency basis for personal injury claims such as a fatal car accident. A contingency fee basis means we do not charge you anything unless we win a settlement in or out of court. This fee structure ensures we work hard for your case and that you don't have even more out-of-pocket expenses during a stressful time. We also offer contingency fee schedules for other practice areas, such as:

• Personal Injury lawyer
• Nursing home abuse lawyer
• Car accident lawyer
• Premises Liability
• and more

Even The Best Truck Driver Can’t Safely Drive a Poorly Maintained Truck

At The Law Offices of John M. McCabe, P.A., we have handled dozens of truck accidents, including cases in which truck tires have come off their own, leading to catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. We have been representing clients in Raleigh and central North Carolina since 1994. Please contact our office for more information and to schedule a no-charge consultation with a Cary unsafe truck accident attorney.

We can subpoena maintenance records, analyze pre-trip inspection logs, review repair records, and establish whether the driver and/or the trucking company were negligent or even grossly negligent (which can result in additional compensation in the form of punitive damages).

Federal regulations apply to many aspects of the trucking industry, including truck maintenance. Regular inspections, pre-trip inspections, and other steps are required to prevent brake failure, hydraulic suspension failure, and other potentially serious issues. Our lawyers know how to find violations of these rules to establish causation and liability.
