If you or someone you know was struck by a commercial vehicle, such as delivery vans and tractor trailers, then call us immediately.

The sooner you retain an attorney in a trucking accident, the better we can investigate your claim. The closer to the accident time, the more measurements  and photographs the expert can make, including skid marks and damage to the vehicles. This is key to determine speeds of vehicles and helps the lawyer prove which party is liable for the serious injuries or death of a client.

Recently, a defendant was escorted into Forsyth County Court from jail to face charges that he had violated a protective order*.  No sooner was he in the courtroom than he started attempting to communicate with the person who had taken out the order against him.  The judge quickly approved a $5,000 bond.  But because the defendant kept communicating to the other party in the courtroom while his case was before the Court, the Assistant District Attorney changed the request so that the bond would be increased to $10,000. 

Someone recently asked me (Randy Ivie) if I thought, given all the distractions of drugs and alcohol, it was harder to be a college age student now than when I was that age.  The person who asked the question is just as old as I am, and apparently assumes that alcohol and illicit drugs are more readily available today than might have been true in the past.
