Do Not Undervalue Your Recoverable Truck Accident Damages

The aftermath of a truck accident can leave you in serious pain, dealing with a mountain of bills and extensive recovery time that takes you away from your job and other responsibilities. While you focus on your physical and emotional recovery, our evidence collection team will help you compile your receipts and other documentation that proves the cost of your injuries. We can help you recover:

• Known and anticipated medical bills
• Known and anticipated lost wages
• Property repair or replacement
• Physical disability or disfigurement
• Physical and emotional pain and suffering
• Mental and emotional distress

We will look at your damages, calculate each loss, and assign a value to your case. This will be what we pursue for your compensation. This figure will be a point of reference that can let you know if any offers you get from insurers are too low.

Determining Liability in Truck Accidents Can Be Complex,
But Leave That to Us

It can be easy to determine fault and assign liability in a car accident. Proving liability in a truck accident, however, is not the same as a car accident for several reasons. The same things can be much more difficult after a truck accident because fault and liability can go in various directions. Your injury case might be filed against:

• The truck driver if his actions or behavior caused the accident (e.g., speeding, driving while impaired or tired)
• The driver’s employer if faulty or improperly loaded cargo caused the accident
• The owner of the truck
• The truck’s manufacturer if a vehicle flaw or design caused the accident
• The manufacturer of a truck part that failed to work
• A mechanic or shop that made errors while repairing the truck
• The workers responsible for maintaining the roads where the accident happened

Our team will compile the evidence that proves the at-fault party’s negligence and financial responsibility. We will also send a spoliation letter to the truck company to preserve any evidence we may need to prove your case. This can include:

• Maintenance and repair records for the truck
• Data from the truck’s black box
• Video footage from the driver’s dashcam
• The truck driver’s training history, logbook
• Records of previous violations at the company

We will review all evidence you have and collect additional evidence to prove your case.

Why Trust Your Truck Accident Case to Our Team

Our personal injury team goes to bat for you. To compile evidence on your behalf, we will read and review your medical records and crash report and locate and interview witnesses. From them, we draw proof of the at-fault party’s negligence and establish the financial costs of the accident. We will also:

• Handle all verbal and written communications with all parties in your case
• Locate supportive photos and video footage
• Compile evidence and interview witnesses
• Keep you aware of the progress of your case
• Explain all state and federal laws that apply to your case
• Answer your questions and address your concerns

We consider it a privilege to serve you and take care of your needs. When you trust us to represent you, our team never leaves you alone or uncertain about the progress of your case. We treat you like you were one of our own and fight for the compensation you deserve to get the care you need and put your life back on track.

Our mission is to build a personal relationship with you, make South Carolina a safer place for everyone, hold liable parties accountable for their negligence, and fight for financial compensation for every injured client we represent.

You Have a Limited Time to File Your Case After Your Myrtle Beach Accident

In South Carolina, personal injury cases must be filed within a specific time frame. Commonly known as the statute of limitations, S.C. Ann § 15-3-530 generally allows you up to three years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. If you fail to comply with the statute of limitations, the potential consequences can be costly. It can mean:

• You cannot file your lawsuit at all; or
• The court will dismiss your lawsuit, ending your opportunity to recover damages

If either of these things happens, you can be left with no further legal recourse for compelling the at-fault party to compensate you. When our team is on your side – and with sufficient notice – we work diligently to ensure your case complies with the statute of limitations.
