If a mechanical defect in your car or another driver’s vehicle caused your Greenville County crash, you may have a legal claim against the manufacturer or another liable party. A Greenville mechanical defects lawyer from Hammack Law Firm may be able to negotiate a fair settlement for you.

Our compassionate legal team provides free consultations for victims hurt in this type of crash. We can help you understand your rights, pursue justice, and exercise your legal options for recovering money to pay your bills.

What Damages Can Hammack Law Firm Help Me Recover in My Accident Case?

The goal of an insurance claim or lawsuit is to hold the at-fault parties accountable and recover compensation to cover our client’s related expenses and losses. Since we cannot undo the damage and injuries, this is the best way to get justice in a personal injury or auto accident case.

Our team identifies the financial impacts of a collision and puts a price on the intangible harm our clients suffered. We seek monetary damages for our clients based on their costs and losses that include:

  • Medical bills and related expenses
  • Future treatment and care costs
  • Ongoing support and therapy as needed
  • Lost wages and other income from time missed at work
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Property damages, such as replacement of a totaled car
  • Pain and suffering
  • Other non-economic damages

Wrongful Death Cases Are Possible Following a Defective Part Accident

Under S.C. Ann. § 15-51-10, the representative for a late accident victim can file an action to seek compensation for the victim’s surviving family members. This is known as a wrongful death action. We extend warm condolences to you and your family if you lost your spouse, parent, child, or another close family member. Our team is here to help with your legal needs when you are ready.

Hammack Law Firm Provides the Support, Help, and Representation You Need

A Greenville mechanical defects attorney from Hammack Law Firm may be able to manage your insurance claim or personal injury suit from beginning to end while you focus on healing. We want to get every client back to their family and loved ones as quickly as possible.

We treat every client like a friend or family member, giving them a lot of time and attention and building a personal relationship with them. We provide a small firm feel but pair it with big firm experience. If we represent you, you can count on our team to:

  • Hold the negligent parties accountable for their bad behavior
  • Seek financial recovery for you based on your damages
  • Prepare the case for trial even though most cases settle out of court
  • Fight for justice for you and your family
  • Force more from the insurance company
  • Represent you based on contingency

While we reach a fair settlement for most clients, we are not afraid to take the case to trial when necessary. Our trial attorneys have the knowledge, experience, and resources to represent you in court.

You can learn more about how much our approach means to our customers by reading our Google reviews and client testimonials on our website. As one client explained:

“Every time I contacted Hammack Law Firm about my case, they got back with me within an hour of contacting them. They were very nice and friendly with helping me with my case. I’m more happy about getting my case closed within a year’s time. My hospital bills are paid and out the way. Thank you so much, and if I ever have an issue like the one I had, I will be contacting them again!”

You can also see some of our recent case results on our website. These show that we seek fair and just damages for our clients based on the physical, financial, and psychological harm they suffered.

Who Is Liable for my Greenville Mechanical Defects Accident and Injuries?

Your Greenville defective parts lawyer from Hammack Law Firm will investigate what happened to cause your collision and determine who is liable. When a part or vehicle component fails, the legally responsible parties could include:

  • The designer of the defective part
  • The component manufacturer
  • The car company
  • Another part distributor

For example, imagine you experienced a tire failure while driving on Interstate 85 North in Greenville County. The tires were new, and there was no indication of a problem before. During our investigation, we discovered that others had raised concerns about the rubber used in these tires, leading to several tread separations and injury accidents.

We may be able to use this information to:

  • Build a case to prove a tire defect caused your crash
  • Develop a strong argument to hold the tire manufacturer liable
  • File a claim based on the manufacturer’s liability insurance
  • Recover fair and just damages for you

According to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety (SCDPS), vehicle defects caused less than 1% of all fatal crashes in the state in 2019 and 1.33% of all non-fatal accidents. While this is a small number, at Hammack Law Firm, we understand that these accidents do occur. We are here for those hurt in our community when they do.

Most cases settle out of court in a much shorter time than it would take to sue and go to trial. However, this is sometimes necessary to secure a just payout. If we need to sue the parts manufacturer or another liable party in your case, we likely have only three years to do so under S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530. Certain circumstances could reduce this timeline further.
