Find out what your case is worth — in minutes.
Truck accident claims are far more complex than ordinary car accident cases. Multiple parties, federal regulations, and corporate defense teams create challenges that demand experienced trial attorneys.
Unlike car accidents, truck crashes can involve the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the maintenance contractor, and even the truck or parts manufacturer. We investigate every party to maximize your recovery.
Commercial trucks are governed by strict FMCSA regulations covering hours of service, weight limits, driver qualifications, and vehicle maintenance. Violations of these federal rules are powerful evidence of negligence in your case.
A fully loaded 18-wheeler can weigh 80,000 pounds — up to 20 times more than a passenger car. The physics of these collisions result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and fatalities at far higher rates.
Trucking companies routinely scrub electronic logging device (ELD) data, black box recordings, dashcam footage, and driver drug test results within days of a crash. Our team moves immediately to preserve this critical evidence.
Within hours of a serious crash, trucking companies dispatch rapid response teams — investigators, defense lawyers, and adjusters — all working to minimize the company's liability before you even hire an attorney.
Truck accident injuries are typically far more severe, resulting in larger medical bills, longer recovery periods, permanent disabilities, and greater lost earning capacity. These cases demand attorneys experienced in valuing catastrophic injury claims.
Truck accident cases require a firm that understands FMCSA regulations, knows how to preserve evidence, and isn't intimidated by trucking company defense teams.
Trucking corporations and their insurers fight hard to avoid paying fair compensation. Our attorneys have the resources and trial experience to go toe-to-toe with their defense teams and win.
We issue spoliation letters within 24 hours to prevent trucking companies from destroying ELD data, black box recordings, driver logs, maintenance records, and dashcam footage.
Including a $27 million truck accident settlement. Our track record of results in complex commercial vehicle cases speaks for itself.

Talk to a Lawyer Now →Truck accident cases are significantly more complex. They involve federal FMCSA regulations, multiple potentially liable parties (the driver, trucking company, cargo loader, maintenance provider, and manufacturer), larger insurance policies, and corporate defense teams. The injuries tend to be far more severe given the massive size and weight difference, and critical evidence like ELD data and driver logs can be destroyed quickly if not preserved.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay zero out of pocket. Our fee comes from a percentage of your settlement or verdict — only if we win. If we don't recover money for you, you owe us nothing. Given the complexity and expense of truck accident litigation, this is especially important — we invest our own resources into building your case.
South Carolina has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (S.C. Code § 15-3-530). However, with truck accidents, time is especially critical because trucking companies may legally destroy driver logs, ELD data, and maintenance records after a set period. We recommend contacting an attorney within days — not months — of the crash.
Multiple parties can share liability: the truck driver (for fatigue, distraction, or impairment), the trucking company (for negligent hiring, pressure to violate hours-of-service rules, or inadequate training), the cargo loader (for improperly securing freight), the maintenance company (for failing to properly inspect or repair the truck), and the truck or parts manufacturer (for defective brakes, tires, or other components). Our team investigates all potential sources of recovery.
Truck accident victims may recover compensation for medical bills (past and future, including surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care), lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, property damage, and in cases of egregious conduct like falsified driver logs, punitive damages. Because injuries are often catastrophic, these claims frequently reach into the millions.
First, seek medical attention even if you feel okay — truck accident injuries like internal bleeding and traumatic brain injuries can have delayed symptoms. Call 911 to file a police report. If possible, photograph the scene, the truck, any DOT numbers or company names on the truck, and your injuries. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company. Contact a truck accident attorney as soon as possible — we need to send an evidence preservation letter before the trucking company destroys critical data.
Federal FMCSA regulations strictly limit how long a truck driver can operate without rest — generally 11 hours of driving within a 14-hour window, followed by 10 consecutive hours off duty. Hours-of-service violations are a leading cause of truck accidents because fatigued driving is as dangerous as drunk driving. If a driver or trucking company violated these rules, it is strong evidence of negligence and can significantly increase the value of your claim.
Every day you wait, critical evidence like black box data and driver logs can be destroyed. Get your free case review now.
