South Carolina Truck Accident Lawyers
Time is of the essence if a family member was injured or killed in a collision with a tractor trailer or other commercial vehicle. Witnesses scatter, evidence is cleared away and trucking companies work to get their damaged semi back on the road.
The personal injury lawyers of Parham, Smith & Dodson, LLC know how to handle truck accident cases. We get quickly to the scene of an 18-wheeler crash to document critical evidence and — just as importantly — we have the savvy to apply that information to maximize compensation for our clients' devastating injuries.
Loved One Badly Hurt in a Trucking Accident? • Free Consultation at 877-805-6431 • We Take Cases Statewide
Parham Smith & Dodson has litigated truck accident cases not only in the Greenville and Piedmont area, but in Columbia, Charleston and throughout South Carolina. Our three partners are respected trial lawyers with 75 years of experience between them. We also have a physician's assistant consultant on staff who documents your medical treatment to bolster the lawsuit and helps determine your future needs.
Our attorneys personally visit semi wreck scenes to guide the investigation, and often call in accident reconstruction specialists to take photos and measurements, secure data from the truck's “black box” recorder and have the tractor and trailer inspected.
We explore all potential causes:
- Driver error — fatigue, inattention, traffic violations
- Unfit trucks — bad brakes, tires or lights; unsecured or overweight cargo
- Employer pressure on drivers to speed, exceed federal limits on hours behind the wheel and falsify logbooks
- Negligent hiring of unqualified drivers or inadequate training
Full Compensation for Devastating Injuries
When truck accidents result in fatality, we pursue a wrongful death lawsuit to compensate survivors for projected earnings and that person's lost contributions to the family. A collision with a truck often causes catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord damage, brain injury, amputation or multiple broken bones. We work to ensure compensation covers a lifetime of care and the lost enjoyment of life from any permanent disability.
Truck accidents can involve complex insurance issues (multiple defendants, multiple victims, uninsured parties). We pursue all available coverage to ensure our clients' needs are met.
