The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety cites antilock brakes (required since 1997) and electronic stability control (required since 2019) as two advances in trucking technology that help truck drivers avoid dangerous jackknifing. If you were injured in an accident with a truck that did not meet these requirements or was operated by a negligent driver, our Myrtle Beach jackknife accident lawyer can help you identify the liable party and seek financial compensation.

At Hammack Law Firm, our team treats truck accident injury victims with compassion and respect and helps them get the justice and compensation they deserve. We start by identifying the at-fault party, which can be difficult in truck accident cases. We then make every effort to seek compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.

Our Truck Accident Team Is Committed to Accountability

We believe in fighting for compensation for every client injured in a truck accident. We are also devoted to creating beneficial changes in trucking and insurance company public safety policies. We advocate for safety measures, justice for accident victims, and maximum compensation from insurance companies.

In addition, our Client Bill of Rights ensures that you are treated fairly. As a Hammack Law Firm client, you are entitled to:

How Our Team Manages Your Case

Fighting a trucking industry insurance company for compensation after an accident can be time-consuming and confusing. It also requires familiarizing yourself with a wide range of state and local civil practices and insurance laws. Our team can manage all the details of your case, including:

• Calculating your damages
• Handling insurance forms
• Making all legal filings
• Proving fault and liability
• Building your evidence file

right to compensation in jeopardy by acting too late. According to S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530, you generally have only three years from the date of your accident to file your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

When it comes to settling your case, the final decision is still yours and yours alone. However, we can help you understand the feasibility and fairness of each offer you receive. We will work hard to negotiate a favorable financial settlement and gather the evidence, photos, and witness statements that establish the foundation of your case.
