Truck Accidents

South Carolina Truck Accident Attorneys

Many lives are seriously changed and some even taken each year by truck accidents. When a passenger vehicle collides with an 18-wheeler, or semi, the results can be much more severe than those of just a passenger vehicle accident. When you add together the speed, weight and movement of an 18-wheeler, you have a recipe for a serious accident and serious outcomes for those involved. Because of the size and weight of the truck, anything colliding with it doesn’t stand much of a chance. The South Carolina Truck Accident Attorneys at Speedy, Tanner, & Atkinson can help.

Truck accidents are different from other vehicle accidents because of the laws and regulations that rule the trucking industry. There are many things to evaluate in a truck accident that could be the cause, including:

  • Truck driver fatigue
  • Driving too fast for conditions
  • Driving under the influence
  • Failure to brake properly
  • Refusal to allow other vehicles to merge
  • Driving a load that is too heavy
  • Driving defective or not maintained trucks
  • Taking turns too wide

What to do first when you’ve been injured in a truck accident

If you’ve been hurt in a truck accident, the most important thing to do right away is to get medical attention. Next, you should seek legal guidance from a reputable personal injury attorney as soon as possible. You should talk to a South Carolina truck accident attorney first before talking to your insurance company, the fault drivers insurance company and absolutely before signing anything.
