Fight for Compensation Before Time Runs Out
In Greenville, your lawsuit must abide by the statute of limitations found in S.C. Ann. §15-3-530. This law dictates that you generally have:
- Three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit
- Three years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a wrongful death lawsuit
Get our team involved in your fight for compensation right away. We can keep track of your case’s filing deadline so that it gets filed in time. Our team can also:
- Investigate the accident
- Conduct interviews with witnesses while their memories are fresh
- Consult medical and mechanical experts to get analysis for your case
Your Medical Records Can Reveal the Extent of Your Injuries
If you require medical care for your semi-truck accident-related injuries, this should be documented in your medical records and have a paper trail to follow. Our team may use this evidence to argue why you should be compensated for your medical care costs.
You may be entitled to receive compensation for the following types of medical expenses:
- Costs for emergency room care
- Costs for diagnostic tests
- Costs for hospital stays
- Costs for prescription medications
- Costs for assistive medical devices
The medical records and bills we request may help us prove the cause and cost of your semi-truck accident injuries. You can comply with these requests or authorize us to request these records on your behalf.

The Crash Report Can Help Establish Information About the Accident
According to S.C. Ann. §56-5-1270, you are required to file a crash report if you or anyone else involved in the accident was injured.
Our team may use the crash report to prove the cause of the accident, as these reports often contain crucial information. Some information that might be in the crash report includes:
- Whether the at-fault driver committed traffic violations
- Whether the at-fault driver was distracted or under the influence of drugs or alcohol while driving
- Whether the truck experienced mechanical failures due to its design
- Whether the truck’s cargo was improperly loaded
- Whether road or weather might have contributed to the cause of the accident
Do not overlook the significance of the crash report or the information it contains. If it is available, request two copies. You can give one to us and keep one for your personal records.
