Recover After a Truck or Commercial Vehicle Accident
Like a car accident, a truck or commercial vehicle accident can cause serious injuries to victims. Unlike a car accident, however, the potential for severe and fatal injuries is significantly greater and instead of dealing with the other driver's insurance company, the trucking company's insurance carrier may attempt to mitigate damages in the accident. For these and other reasons, it is important to speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer if you have been involved in a commercial vehicle or truck accident in South Carolina.

Semi trucks and other commercial vehicles operate under strict regulations from state and federal governments. These regulations are in place to prevent accidents and to ensure the safety of truck drivers and other drivers on the road. Unfortunately, the failure to maintain these regulations, either through driver error, improper maintenance or negligence on the part of the trucking company, can result in serious accidents.
There are many aspects that drivers and trucking companies can control that may contribute to accidents, including:
- Inadequate driver training
- Unrealistic schedule and expectations, causing drivers to hurry and take other safety risks
- Fast vehicle speeds
- Too many hours of consecutive driving, leading to driver fatigue
- Insufficient truck maintenance
Due to their size and speed, truck accidents may result in serious and life-threatening injuries, including brain and spinal cord injuries. Our firm also represents the families of accident victims in wrongful death cases.
