Orangeburg Automobile Accident Attorneys
Truck accident claims are different from other vehicle claims
Glenn Walters & Associates represent the victims of trucking accidents in South Carolina.
Truck accident claims are far more complicated than other sorts of vehicle claims, like auto or motorcycle accidents. The primary difference is that because trucks are so huge and so heavy, the damage they cause is incredible. There are important differences in how your claim is negotiated or litigated, too:
- Trucking companies are subject to commercial laws.
- Truckers are employees, not individual motorists.
- Trucking companies do not have to keep certain records for very long.
- Truckers sometimes abuse prescription or non-prescription drugs.
- Truckers are often encouraged to drive at unsafe speeds because of business benefits.
- Trucking companies may be in another state and subject to jurisdictional complications.
If you need help after a truck accident—or if a truck accident has caused a wrongful death in your family—please contact the office immediately.
