With more than 40,000 cases won over the last 40-plus years, we know what it takes to pursue compensation in almost any type of auto accident case. With us on your side, you can focus on getting better while we take care of the rest. A lawyer will investigate your accident, identify the liable parties, build a solid case, and take legal action on your behalf.

Let Us Fight for the Payout Your Deserve

Because we have spent the last four decades fighting for South Carolina auto accident victims just like you, we know what it takes to prove negligence and liability. Truck accident cases are among the most complex of all auto accidents, though. In addition to a negligent driver, their employer is often also vicariously liable for your injuries.

Identifying all potentially liable parties can be complicated and time-consuming in these cases, but it is just one step in investigating your accident and building a strong case for compensation. You can trust our team to:

• Protect your right to compensation
• Manage all communication about your case
• Answer your questions and address your concerns about the case
• Investigate your accident, including working with accident reconstruction specialists, industry experts, and engineers
• Collect evidence to prove negligence and fault
• Document your full range of truck accident damages
• Build a solid case to support our pursuit of compensation

We often try to negotiate an out-of-court settlement in South Carolina personal injury cases, but if this is not possible, an attorney will take legal action against the trucking company or another liable party. No corporation is too large. A truck accident attorney in Hilton Head Island, SC, will take your case to court and fight for the compensation you deserve based on the facts of your case.
