Steps to Take After a Truck Accident

Because business entities will be involved in these cases, there will be significant pressure on all parties to skew the facts and minimize liability. If you were involved in the accident, it is advised that you do not speak with the insurance adjuster. The conversation may be recorded, and your words will be used against you.

It's also recommended that you retain legal representation as soon as possible. You have a limited amount of time to pursue your truck accident case before losing your right to compensation. Critical evidence and eye-witnesses must be identified, located and studied very quickly.

Understanding Your Rights as a Truck Accident Victim

After a truck accident, it’s crucial to understand your legal rights and options. Many victims are unaware that they may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. At Sanders Law Firm, LLC, we believe that knowledge is power, and we are committed to empowering our clients by providing clear information about their rights.

Key points to consider include:

• Liability Determination: Understanding who is at fault in a truck accident can be complex. Factors such as driver negligence, trucking company policies, and vehicle maintenance records all play a role.
• Insurance Coverage: Trucking companies often have substantial insurance policies. Knowing how to navigate these policies can significantly affect your compensation.
• Time Limits: South Carolina has specific statutes of limitations for filing personal injury claims. Acting quickly can ensure that your rights are protected.
• Potential Damages: Beyond immediate medical costs, you may also be entitled to compensation for long-term impacts on your quality of life, including ongoing medical treatment and emotional distress.

Our experienced team at Sanders Law Firm, LLC is here to guide you through every step of the legal process, ensuring that you fully understand your rights and options. Don't navigate this challenging time alone—let us help you secure the compensation you deserve.

Truck accidents are much more challenging cases to work than car accident cases. In a trucking case, we fight against a trucking company as opposed to an individual driver. Often, truck drivers do not get enough sleep and trucking companies keep their drivers on the road too long. A sleepy truck driver under the stress of constant delivery deadlines is a recipe for disaster.

To understand the issues in a truck accident case, scientific and mechanical expertise may be required of the lawyer. As an engineer and a lawyer, T.O. Sanders is uniquely qualified to help you. We are prepared to argue your case in court and illustrate clear and compelling causation between the actions of the driver or trucking company and your injuries. Because we take on injury cases on a contingency basis, our clients are never charged any legal fees until we secure a financial recovery.

Our goal is twofold: 1) to maximize your recovery and 2) to provide personalized service. Contact us online or call (843) 573-8828 to request a consultation with our experienced Charleston truck accident lawyers.
