Who is at fault?
There are numerous factors to consider when involved in a truck accident. Besides the two drivers, there are many other people involved (the truck's owner and/or company, manufacturer, brake maker, insurance company, owner of the cargo, etc.) as well as the regulations that govern commercial motor vehicles.
Since commercial vehicles are heavily regulated by the federal and state government and each state has different statutes of limitations, it is important to contact an experienced and knowledgeable South Carolina auto accident attorney as soon as possible.

What can cause South Carolina Truck Accidents?
Determining the cause of a trucking accident in South Carolina is very complicated and more costly than a typical auto accident. Some causes of trucking accidents include:
- Jackknifing
- Fuel Fire
- Rollovers
- Braking
Truckers are required to have a special license to allow them to operate a truck vehicle. This license proves that the driver has the adequate knowledge, experience and training to operate a truck. If the driver of the truck does not have a truck license, then a claim filed against the truck company for negligent hiring/training of their driver.
