Early intervention and investigation is essential to determine whether the driver was complying with federal laws which require regular rest breaks and vehicle maintenance. Truckers are sometimes pushed by their demanding delivery schedules demands and are forced by their employers to take unnecessary chances. If death occurs, it is imperative to determine medically whether it was instantaneous or resulted in even a brief period of conscious pain and suffering, the difference can be tens of thousands of dollars in recovery to the victim’s family.

We have won significant results for our truck accident victims in complex trucking accident claims. One of the keys to our success is that we are familiar with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations and state laws governing the operation of commercial trucks. These regulations address such matters as how many hours a driver can spend behind the wheel without rest, how a truck must be maintained, and how much weight a truck can haul. Violation of any of these regulations can be used to prove negligence.

Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, from drunk driving and improper truck maintenance, to improper loading and driver fatigue. However, most of the truck crash cases we have been involved in are caused by plain bad driving. Truck drivers speed, cut off other drivers in traffic, or fail to yield when merging. The majority of truck drivers are highly skilled and responsible, but a dangerous minority behaves like bullies on the road.

When accidents occur, our South Carolina Attorneys will fully investigate the case and, when necessary, retain an accident reconstruction expert to determine the cause of the accident. We will identify all possible sources of financial compensation and pursue full compensation for our client. Most truck wreck claims are resolved fairly through negotiations, but we are willing to take your case before a judge and jury if that is the best way to achieve justice in your case.
