We Will Work Toward the Financial Settlement You are Due

When we can show that the truck driver or another liable party behaved negligently, it gives you the ability to seek damages for your injuries and the way your life changes. The financial award you could win will fit into various categories. Your case’s circumstances will determine how much you could win in each category.

Other liable parties in a truck accident case could include:

• The truck driver’s employer
• The truck’s manufacturer
• The crew responsible for maintaining and repairing the truck
• The company hired to load the truck’s cargo

Truck cases can involve multiple parties, making these cases more complex. We will identify each party in your case and pursue damages from each one.

Covering Your Accident’s Medical Costs

After the truck driver hits you, you may need to travel to the hospital in an ambulance to receive emergency care. You also may choose to see a doctor on your own a day or two after the crash. Either way, you will have medical bills from the accident.

You should not have to pay these costs out of your pocket when the truck driver caused them with their negligence. Our team can help you seek reimbursement for the costs you have immediately after the crash, as well as an estimate of medical costs you will have in the future.

Covering the Time You Missed at Work

Regardless of the severity of your injuries, you almost certainly missed some time at work. With relatively minor injuries, you may only miss a couple of weeks. With life-altering injuries, you may never be able to work again.

We will fight hard to make sure the insurance company understands your outlook regarding work. We will seek the full amount of compensation that you are owed.

Covering Your Reduced Quality of Life

After an injurious accident with a truck in Myrtle Beach, you may end up with some injuries that never heal fully, unfortunately. The huge size of a big-rig truck can cause significant health problems to passengers in the other cars after a crash.

Should you now be unable to enjoy the same activities you did with your family before your injuries, you could receive a financial award to reimburse you for this and other non-financial, life-altering damages.

Covering Your Pain and Suffering

If you have ongoing pain and suffering related to your injuries after the accident, you could also be compensated for this. The pain and suffering judgment could be quite large, depending on the circumstances in your case.

We Focus on Our Clients’ Well-Being at All Times

The Hammack Law Firm team fully understands that this truck accident injury case is not about our attorneys and legal team. It is about you. It is about us working as hard as we can to help you pursue the judgment you need. It is about holding the truck driver responsible for his or her negligence.

We understand that it can be difficult to think about filing a personal injury lawsuit when you are struggling with significant injuries.

Hammack Law Firm Works on a Contingency Fee Basis

We hear from clients who have concerns about being able to afford our services, especially at a time when they are not able to work. We do not want to add to your concerns about your financial well-being.

For this reason, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means we do not charge our clients ahead of time for our services. Instead, our fee will come from a percentage of the final settlement amount in the case.

You Owe us Nothing If We do Not Win Your Case

We receive payment only if we recover a settlement on your behalf. If we do not win your case, you will not owe us anything, and we will not charge you any attorney’s fees.

We know that suffering an injury in a truck accident in the Myrtle Beach area can be a highly stressful situation. You may be facing an uncertain future because of your injuries. We will do everything possible to reduce the amount of stress you are under.

We Will Keep Your Case Moving Forward

If the insurance company is dragging its feet in your case, we will do everything in our power to force the insurer to stop stalling. We want to help you pursue a settlement as quickly as possible. But we will not speed things along to the detriment of your ability to seek the amount of compensation you need.

While most cases settle out of court, we prepare each case as if we’re going to trial. If it appears a settlement is unlikely, we are always ready to take your case to court. We will make certain your case follows South Carolina’s statute of limitations in these cases, which is three years from the accident date, per S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530. You can contact us as early as possible after your accident to ensure you meet this deadline.

We do Not Back Down From Tough Trucking Cases in Myrtle Beach

Sometimes, the insurance company representing the truck driver who hit you will try to say that your driving error led to the crash. We know how to bring the facts in the case to bear in your favor, working to help you win your settlement.

We take a hard line on traffic safety measures and advocate strongly for South Carolina’s truck accident victims. We stand up to insurers while standing up for you. Contact Hammack Law Firm today at (864) 326-3333(864) 326-3333 to hear more about your legal options during a free consultation.
