A serious truck crash can change your life in an instant. You may be left dealing with painful injuries while medical bills pile up and your ability to work is affected. At Kinon Law Firm, our Marion County truck accident lawyers can investigate your crash and pursue compensation from those responsible.

Truck Accidents Can Have Serious Consequences in Marion County

Covering nearly 489 square miles, Marion County is crossed by major routes such as U.S. Highway 501 and U.S. Highway 76. These highways carry local traffic as well as tractor-trailers traveling through the area, meaning that a collision can involve vehicles that differ dramatically in size and weight. 

When a passenger vehicle is struck by a commercial truck, the force of the impact can cause extensive damage and leave occupants with injuries that require months or even years of treatment. Some injuries can permanently affect a person’s ability to move, work, or handle everyday activities. 

Our lawyers can investigate how the crash happened and determine which parties may be responsible for the injuries and financial losses that follow.

Damages You May Pursue After a Truck Accident

The total value of the damages you can pursue depends on the severity of your injuries and the effect they have on your life. Our attorneys can evaluate your losses and seek compensation for:

  • Medical treatment and related expenses such as emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, medication, and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity when injuries prevent you from working
  • Property damage involving your vehicle and other personal property
  • Pain and suffering caused by physical injuries and their lasting effects

Non-economic damages can also address the human impact of a serious truck collision. This may include physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent impairment. 

How Comparative Negligence Can Affect a Truck Accident Claim

The trucking company or driver may argue that you contributed to the collision, potentially impacting your ability to recover compensation. Under South Carolina Code § 15-38-15, the amount of recovery can be affected by the person’s share of fault.

For example, if you are found to be 30% at fault for the truck accident due to speeding, and your total damages are $100,000, your recovery could be reduced by 30%. You could potentially recover $70,000 rather than the full $100,000.

This can matter in a truck accident involving several potential causes. A trucking company may point to another driver, road conditions, or your own actions while attempting to shift responsibility. Our attorneys can review the evidence and work to establish how each factor contributed to the collision.
