Truck Accidents
Truck Accident Attorneys Serving Wilmington and all of Southeastern North Carolina
A truck accident can be devastating. If you or a loved one has been involved in a crash that involves a tractor-trailer or other commercial vehicle, the probability of suffering serious and disabling injuries that can require expensive and lifelong medical treatments is much greater than in a car crash. Filing a lawsuit for a truck accident is also more complex than car crash cases due to the complexity of truck safety regulations, compliance, and industry standards. The truck accident lawyers at Girdwood & Williams aggressively seek fair compensation for your injuries, emotional distress and any financial loss you may have suffered.
Causes of Truck Accidents
Although Truck Accidents are only responsible for about 3% of injuries involving motor vehicles, they cause much greater harm due to the large size and heavy weight compared to an ordinary vehicle. The most common causes of truck accidents are drivers operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs, speeding, fatigued drivers, unfamiliarity with the area and roads, poorly maintained equipment, and the failure of drivers to take precautions. Importantly, there can and often are multiple defendants and more than one insurance policy in play after a truck causes an accident.
Protecting Your Rights against the Trucking Company
We will fight the trucking company on your behalf. A trucking company may send an accident response team of adjusters, investigators and lawyers to the scene, with the objective of protecting the company from risk. At Girdwood & Williams, we will investigate the accident to preserve evidence and determine liability. We will protect your rights and diligently pursue your claim to ensure you and your family are fully compensated. Time is important after a truck accident. Evidence needs to be preserved.

What Our Clients Say
Scott did a great job from start to finish with my case. Kept me well informed throughout it all. Thanks again!
I was struggling to move forward with a 2 year old case. A couple weeks ago, I decided to call Girdwood & Williams and Scott Girdwood helped me take care of it. His office was friendly, highly professional and made communication very easy. To be honest, I've been burdened with this for a long time, and as anyone who's needed legal services knows, it's not easy. It is such a relief to finally be done. It all happened so quickly and efficiently, I'm in shock. A HUGE thank you to Mr. Girdwood for all his effort and time put toward success. I will solely recommend his law firm to anyone seeking legal counsel from here on out!
Wish it was possible to give more than 5 stars. A few years back I was in a bad car accident. With a lot of bills resulting from this accident I figured it would be smart of me to higher an attorney to represent me. I was referred Scott Girdwood and now I can’t thank him enough for what he did for me. He took on to fight my claim where there were a lot of factors contributing to determining fault. He stood beside my side the whole time and went above and behind keeping me in the loop with what was going on. He also educated me and how the process went so I was more understanding. From day one we new the other persons insurance was going to be a pain to fight. Scott fought three different attorneys and not once backed down. Almost 2 years after the original accident, Scott was able to get us settled outside of court. Once again can’t thank Scott enough for what he did for me!
Several years ago 2 family members and myself were in a horrible accident. Our van was totaled. The law firm who initially represented me was going to end up with more from the settlement than I was, and I was the one injured. They said if they worked all summer they could maybe get 400 to 500 dollars for me. I left them and went with Ben Williams. He was amazing. He got $5,000 dollars more in no time.
Scott Girdwood and Ben Williams are excellent attorneys. There are very knowledgeable of the law and fight hard for their clients when they need it the most. Highly recommended!
This law firm has handled several accidents for my family over the past few years. Ben Williams knows what he is doing and has gone above and beyond for us. Sabrina Ward has been extremely helpful and nice. These two have done everything they could to help us out with each accident, even the small one. I couldn’t be more happy with their work.
I recommend hiring Girdwood & Williams for even your smallest accident to take the stress away.
I strongly recommend using Girdwood and Williams. I got a speeding ticket a few months ago and called Scott Girdwood. I was able to speak with Scott on the phone immediately and he put my mind at ease. I paid him a reasonable fee over the phone and I didn’t even have to go to court! He was able to get my ticket reduced so it didn’t affect my license or my insurance. After my court date, Scott sent me a letter to let me know how everything turned out. He made this ordeal very easy for me and I am very thankful!

When I was hurt on the job, I had concerns whether the giant company I worked for had my best interests in mind, so I contacted Ben Williams. From the beginning, Ben told me what to expect and all the possible outcomes. Knowing that I have a wife and kids, Ben helped me make informed decisions to protect me and my family. When court ruling after court ruling when in my favor, the company I worked for agreed to settle, and I am very happy with the result.
