At the heart of the Grand Strand on the South Carolina coastline is Myrtle Beach, a popular tourist destination where people enjoy the Atlantic Ocean, Family Kingdom amusement park, and more. Cargo trucks with new goods to be sold routinely come into this getaway city, which can bring traffic obstacles as they try to navigate the busy downtown hub without hitting tourist pedestrians or other drivers.
Unfortunately, truck accident rates continue to remain high, especially in densely populated areas. If you or a loved one suffered an injury or other damages in a collision with a cargo truck, a Myrtle Beach cargo truck accident lawyer from Hammack Law Firm wants to review your case. Our law firm is a leader in handling truck accident cases, so we are prepared to represent you and fight for compensation on your behalf.
We Guide You Through the Process of Building Your Truck Accident Claim or Lawsuit
If you decide to work with one of our personal injury attorneys, our team will guide you through the claims or litigation process. We take on the legal burden of building your case so you can focus on other priorities in your life, such as resting at home to recover or handling financial matters caused by the truck accident.
Some of the services that we will provide you as our client are listed below. Keep in mind that our team works on a contingency basis, so you do not pay our attorney’s fees unless we win you compensation.
Our Attorneys Will Investigate Your Truck Accident for Evidence and Information
Our team will initially review the crash report to see what notes the reporting officer made at the accident scene. This can help us establish:
- Who was deemed at fault for the accident by the reporting officer
- If other parties besides the at-fault driver may be held liable for the accident, such as other drivers or the at-fault driver’s employer
- What factors likely contributed to the cause of the truck accident
- If you showed signs of injury or property damage at the accident scene or if there was a fatality
We may also conduct a separate investigation to confirm certain information or gather evidence to support your case. For example, if the reporting officer noted that the cargo truck driver claimed a “vehicle malfunction” caused the accident, we can look into whether this is true and if a maintenance or manufacturing company may hold liability. This could involve getting testimony from a mechanical engineer who can identify if issues within the truck caused the accident.
Our Team Will Help You Calculate the Value of Your Damages
While building a framework for your case argument, we will also begin evaluating the value of your damages, which may include financial, physical, and emotional losses. One of our truck accident lawyers will calculate your past and current losses, then make reasonable estimates for any future damages you might experience if applicable.
Many plaintiffs in personal injury cases involving truck accidents pursue compensation for these types of damages:
- Medical expenses
- Property damage
- Diminished quality of life
- Income loss
- Reduced earning capacity
- Permanent disability and disfigurement
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
If your case involves the death of a loved one, we first want to extend our condolences to you, as processing an unexpected death in the family can be overwhelming. We help families like yours file wrongful death actions to pursue additional damages, such as funeral and burial costs, loss of consortium, and loss of financial support, among other emotional losses.
We Will Fill Out Paperwork for You and Submit Your Case By the Deadline
All legal cases involve extensive paperwork. Our team is trained to review all sorts of vehicle insurance policies, so we can determine what coverage is available if you are filing an insurance claim to pursue damages. Alternatively, if you would like to file a personal injury lawsuit to use as leverage against the at-fault or liable party, we can make sure you file your case on time.
S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530 generally gives plaintiffs three years from the date of the accident to file their personal injury case, so we will closely monitor your case deadline as we work towards compensation.
Your Lawyer Can Handle Communications with All Involved Parties
Cargo truck companies often protect themselves by hiring robust legal teams, which can be intimidating if you try to take them on alone. However, with a cargo truck accident lawyer from Hammack Law Firm on your side, you can refer all inquiring parties to your attorney who will speak on your behalf.
By doing so, we can help you:
- Avoid admitting partial fault in the truck accident
- Better understand when a settlement offer is fair or when it is being used as a quick resolution tactic
- Stand up against attorneys or insurance adjusters who might try to convince you of disserving options in your case
We are always transparent with our legal advice, so we will update you on any and all communications you receive. Your voice remains the final decision on your legal case.
Your Attorney Will Serve as Your Representative in All Legal Appearances
One of our Myrtle Beach attorneys will present your cargo truck accident case to the insurance company or a jury, depending on whether you decide to go to trial. Our team can often avoid having to go to court and negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
