After a truck accident, it may not be immediately clear who is responsible for what happened. The truck driver may have caused the crash, but the trucking company or another party could also share liability. Our Marlboro County truck accident lawyers can investigate the evidence available in your situation and work to determine who should be held accountable for your injuries and losses.

The Severity of Truck Accidents in Marlboro County

Marlboro County sits along a major transportation corridor in northeastern South Carolina. Interstate 95 runs through the southern portion of the county, while U.S. 1 and U.S. 15 carry traffic through communities such as Bennettsville and connect the area with commercial centers across South Carolina and neighboring states. The steady movement of tractor-trailers along these routes increases the potential for severe crashes involving passenger vehicles.

A fully loaded commercial truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds under federal weight limits, compared with only a few thousand pounds for a typical passenger vehicle. That enormous difference in weight and size means a truck can transfer tremendous force during a collision, crushing smaller vehicles and causing devastating injuries to the people inside. 

After a crash, you may be facing extensive pain and debt. Our goal is to hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions. While compensation cannot take away what happened, it can help you move forward in your recovery process. 

Evidence to Gather After a Truck Accident

Waiting too long to pursue a truck accident claim can put your ability to recover compensation at risk. Under S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530, victims of truck accidents typically have three years to file a legal claim. However, this deadline does not mean you should wait three years before speaking with our attorneys. 

Building a truck accident case can take time. Important evidence may need to be preserved before it disappears and witnesses may become more difficult to locate. Starting the process sooner can give our lawyers more time to investigate the crash. Our attorneys can help you gather:

  • Photos and videos of the crash scene, vehicles, road conditions, and visible injuries
  • Police reports and witness contact information
  • Medical records and bills related to the injuries
  • Pay stubs or employment records showing lost income
  • Truck company records, driver logs, inspection records, and maintenance records
  • Dashcam, surveillance, or other video footage

Our attorneys can also work to preserve evidence that may be in the possession of the trucking company or other parties. This can be especially important when electronic records or vehicle data could help establish the truck’s speed, braking, driver activity, or other circumstances before the collision.
