North Carolina Car Accident Lawyer Blog

While most of the internet this week has been lighting up with stories about the 2×4 North Carolina car accident (this blog covered that story in a separate post), another tremendously scary crash occurred Wednesday morning in Forsyth County on Highway 52.

A tractor-trailer going northbound flew through a guardrail and collided with a Honda Civic zipping the opposite direction. Police reported that the tractor-trailer crash occurred around the Bethania Rural Hall exit at around 9 in the morning. Amazingly, no injuries were reported from the wreck: a crash that brutal — involving a truck and a car slamming head-to-head on the freeway — could easily lead to multiple fatalities. By noon, the North Carolina Department of Transportation had reopened Highway 52 to traffic.

This week, most bloggers, reporters, and other people who follow North Carolina car accident news spilled a lot of ink analyzing Wendy Cobb’s “scariest car cash ever” as well as fatal auto accidents in Asheville, Rockingham, Jasper, and Pickerington.

Obviously, all fatal crashes are terrible tragedies; they deserve to be reported on. But it’s as important to talk about non-fatal crashes as it is to discuss the tragedies. Many events in this tractor-trailer crash “went wrong” but, amazingly, no one got injured. Safety systems worked to preserve human life. Accident experts must study both failures and successes to improve engineering. Otherwise, if you only look at what goes wrong, you might accidently engineer out features that improve overall safety.

A North Carolina car accident law firm can help you understand the root causes of a car crash. Competent and experienced attorneys can also pinpoint how best to seek compensation for your damages, wages lost, and other costs and build a strategic blueprint to maximize the speed and effectiveness of your quest for compensation.
