Truck Accident Risks on Williamsburg County Roads

Williamsburg County has several heavily traveled routes where commercial trucks regularly move through and between local communities, including US-52, SC-261, SC-527, US-521, and SC-41. Truck crashes on these roads can happen when a driver is too fatigued to react in time, travels too fast for traffic conditions, or fails to account for the distance needed to stop a fully loaded tractor-trailer. 

Problems with the truck itself can also play a role. A worn braking system, improperly maintained tires, or cargo that shifts during transit can cause a driver to lose control or make it impossible to avoid a collision. 

When a large commercial vehicle crashes into a passenger car, the difference in size and weight can leave occupants with catastrophic injuries rather than the relatively minor injuries seen in many ordinary traffic accidents. Our attorneys investigate the circumstances behind these crashes to determine what went wrong and pursue accountability for the full extent of the resulting harm.

Steps to Take After a Truck Accident

The actions taken immediately after a truck collision can affect the strength of a future claim. Your health and safety are the top priority after an accident. Once you are safely away from the site of the accident, be sure to:

  1. Call 911 and report the collision.
  2. Seek medical attention, even if some of your injuries seem minor.
  3. Photograph the position of and damage to the vehicles, condition of the roadway, and your visible injuries.
  4. Gather insurance information from the other driver involved in the collision.
  5. Collect contact information from witnesses.
  6. Keep medical bills, treatment records, repair estimates, and documentation of missed work.
  7. Speak to one of our attorneys about the next steps in your case.

A prompt investigation can help determine how the crash occurred and identify evidence that could support your claim. Preserving evidence becomes especially important after a truck collision. Commercial trucking companies can possess records that may not remain available indefinitely. You do not have to handle the aftermath of your accident on your own. Our team can investigate the crash, communicate with the trucking company and its insurer, and work to preserve evidence while you focus on your recovery.
