Truck Accidents

Are you looking for a Truck Accident attorney in South Carolina or Georgia?

We have experience helping clients who have been injured in truck accidents. A trucking accident occurs when a large truck and trailer is involved in an accident with another vehicle. Most of the injuries and deaths in these types of accidents involve the passengers of the smaller vehicles, while the drivers of the tractor trailers usually escape with little or no personal injuries. Due to the large size of the trucks, an accident of this nature can greatly endanger the lives of the occupants of the smaller vehicles.

Common causes of truck accidents include speeding, disobeying safety procedures, repair and other maintenance failures, failure to yield the right-of-way, driver fatigue, mechanical brake failure, and overloaded trucks or trailers. There are many regulations which effect the trucking industry and it is important that a personal injury attorney handling these types of accidents is familiar with these regulations and with investigating accidents using expert witnesses.

The victim of a trucking accident can suffer catastrophic personal injuries and as a result, suffer serious damages, which may include pain and suffering, medical expenses and loss of wages.
