Thousands of trucks travel throughout the state of South Carolina everyday. These trucks are integral to keeping our economy running, but unfortunately, they can be a danger to South Carolina citizens on the road, resulting in thousands of truck accidents each year.

Defending Upstate Residents Against Negligent Truck Drivers
No matter how careful you are, the dangers posed by trucks on the road can place you at increased risk of being involved in an accident. Often, trucking accidents are caused by driver fatigue, drug or alcohol impairment, improperly loaded cargo, making illegal maneuvers, or failure to check blind spots. Whatever the cause of the accident, truck accident victims could be eligible for sizable compensation following the accident.
Damages and Compensation from Trucking Accidents
If a trucker or trucking company was responsible for you or a loved one’s vehicle accident, you may be eligible to recover compensation for:
- Hospital, ambulance, and other medical expenses
- Funeral costs
- Property damage
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Other costs and/or damages
You could also be eligible for punitive damages, which are awarded in cases of extreme negligence.
Defending Victims of Serious Injury from Trucking Accidents
The sheer size of large trucks also means that the probability of a passenger car driver sustaining serious injuries or a worse fate is significantly higher. Some of the most common injuries sustained from trucking accidents are traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and unfortunately death. Our legal team has extensive experience when it comes to handling complex injury cases and will fight to obtain a just outcome for you or your loved one.
