Delivery vans are a common sight on the roads in Myrtle Beach, from U.S. Highway 17 to Robert Edge Parkway. As such, accidents can occur involving – and often because of – delivery drivers. Should you or a loved one suffer injuries at the hands of a reckless driver in a delivery van, our firm is here to support your accident case.

If you request our legal services, our Myrtle Beach delivery van accident lawyer will take care of your entire case. At Hammack Law Firm, we identify liable parties, negotiate with insurance companies, represent our clients in court, and build compelling cases to recover medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, and more. Free consultations are available 24/7.

We Stand Up to Liable Parties and Their Insurance Companies in Myrtle Beach

After suffering injuries in a delivery van accident, you may hear directly from the insurance company representing the van owner or driver. An insurance adjuster may try to assure you that you do not need representation and offer a settlement right away. They may also ask you to answer some questions about the collision.

However, it’s crucial to recognize that the other party’s insurance company is not on your side, even if their representatives seem to be cooperative. They could use certain statements you make against you or offer a settlement that does not address the true value of the case, hoping that you will accept to avoid further hassle.

Hiring our firm to represent you means that our delivery van accident attorney will be on your side from start to finish. We do not care what the insurance company wants from the case’s outcome – our only goal is to advocate for compensation that accounts for your damages.

Our Team Fights for You and Your Best Interests

While other attorneys may try to work through as many cases as they can as quickly as they can, we give each case the time and attention it needs to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients.

At Hammack Law Firm, we have a customer-focused approach to all of our cases. Unlike some other personal injury attorneys, we take the time to learn about you and your family. We believe this high level of personalized service is the key to our success. It’s why many of our clients leave us reviews like these:

  • “Lynn, Paul and the Hammack Law Firm team did an amazing job taking care of my auto accident claim!! Lynn, kept in close contact with me as she worked through the details of the case, kept me updated on each evolving part.” – Haley Lyda
  • “I highly recommend Hammack Law Firm. Paul has a unique background working for insurance companies, so he knows their playbook. I am confident he will get you the best results if you are having to fight for payment against an insurance company in a Personal Injury case.” – Joanna Reese
  • “I was in a wreck and hit in the back end, got in with this law firm and it has been a wonderful experience…. dealing with Lynn Dunn and Dawn McGill has been great…they are very nice professional women that I have enjoyed getting to know.” – Renee Sigmon

We Must First Prove Negligence According to South Carolina Law

Before we can win any settlement amount for you, our team has to establish another party’s negligence. There may be evidence that the delivery van driver made an error while driving that led to your accident and injuries. For example, they may have been speeding to make their deliveries on time and failed to stop in time to avoid rear-ending your vehicle.

Similarly, if the delivery driver does not have their cargo secured properly, as required in S.C. Ann. § 56-5-4100, this could lead to an accident. Loose cargo can strike other vehicles or cause drivers to swerve in order to avoid the debris, leading to an accident.

It’s worth noting that in many accident cases involving delivery van drivers, the company employing them is also liable. Employers have vicarious liability for their employee’s actions while they are on the clock performing their job duties. Our attorneys will identify if this legal doctrine applies in your case and prepare to hold one or more parties liable for your damages.

Compensation for a Delivery Van Accident in Myrtle Beach

Traffic accidents range from minor to severe, depending on various factors. As such, the amount of compensation you qualify to collect will depend on the unique circumstances of your case, such as:

  • Each party’s level of fault
  • Damage severity
  • Length of the recovery period
  • Any long-term damages that occur

We will review these factors and others that pertain to your case to place a fair value on your damages. From there, we can enter negotiations or head to trial with a solid idea of what you could recover from the liable parties.

Recovery of Medical Costs for Treating Your Injuries

After your accident, if you needed emergency care in Myrtle Beach, your medical costs could rise quickly. You could have tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills after several days in the hospital, as well as ongoing medical costs for your care in the future.

If so, we will seek a settlement or judgment to cover all of these costs incurred up to the point of the settlement. In addition, we can seek an estimated amount to cover any medical costs you will have going forward.

Reimbursement for Time Missed at Work While in Recovery

You may end up missing quite a bit of work while you recover from your injuries. If so, you need a financial award that reflects the income you were unable to earn.

For someone who cannot earn a living for months or years into the future because of their injuries, a settlement can also cover these losses. Based on the facts of your case, we will account for any estimated wages you will miss out on earning in the future.

Damages for Pain and Suffering

If you will have pain that lingers into the future, as well as a reduction in your quality of life from your injuries, you can receive an award that compensates you for these damages.

We believe strongly in our negotiating skills, which we will put to use for your benefit when seeking a pain and suffering judgment from the insurance company.
