Give Us A Call »We Go After All Responsible Parties for Your Truck Accident Injuries
When you suffer injuries in a truck accident, those responsible for the crash should pay the cost of treating your injuries and for other damages you have incurred. Truck accidents are unique in that they often involve more responsible parties than other motor vehicle accidents.
Our truck accident attorneys in Simpsonville, SC, will identify all parties who may be liable for your injuries and collect evidence against them. Potentially responsible parties for your truck accident include:
The Truck Driver
The driver of the truck that hit you was breaking any traffic laws or was careless or negligent behind the wheel is most likely the responsible party for your injuries. Examples of behavior that can result in liability include:
- Speeding
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Changing lanes improperly or without signaling
- Failing to yield
- Tailgating or following too closely
- Driving under the influence
- Distracted driving
Truck drivers must also follow regulations that govern how many hours they can drive at a time, how often they must have their vehicles serviced, and how frequently they must have their loads weighed. Drivers are required to record this information in a logbook. We can subpoena this book.
If it is incomplete, inaccurate, or suggests any violation of a law or regulation, a lawyer can use it against the driver.
The Trucking Company
In South Carolina, trucking companies have vicarious liability for the actions of their drivers. That is, if an attorney can show that the truck driver was at fault for your crash, we can pursue not just the driver but also their employer for compensation.
The Shipping Company
The shipping company refers to the business whose load the driver was hauling at the time of the crash. In certain situations, this company might also have vicarious liability.

We Can Help You Recover Damages Even If You Were Partly at Fault
South Carolina does not necessarily bar you from recovering damages if you were partly at fault for your accident. The state uses a modified comparative liability system to assign fault, per S.C. Code § 15-38-15.
Whatever your damages total, you can recover the share of that sum that corresponds to the other party’s liability percentage. As an example, if the investigation shows you were 25% at fault, and the other party or parties were 75% at fault, you could recover 75% of your total damages from the other party.
