Personal Injury Lawyer Serving West Ashley, SC

Q: Why are there so many truck accidents on Savannah Highway in West Ashley?

Savannah Highway (US-17) is a primary commercial trucking route that runs directly through West Ashley's residential and commercial areas. The combination of heavy truck traffic, numerous business driveways and intersections, and commuter congestion creates frequent conflict points. Trucks making wide turns at intersections like Savannah Highway and Main Road are a particular hazard.

Q: What if I was injured in a slip-and-fall at a West Ashley business?

South Carolina premises liability law requires business owners to maintain safe conditions for visitors. If you slipped, tripped, or fell due to a hazardous condition — wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or debris — you may have a claim against the property owner. Document the scene with photos, report the incident to the business, and contact Roden Law for a free evaluation of your case.
