Trucking Accidents

South Carolina Truck Accident Lawyer

There is an enormous difference between a car or a motorcycle accident claim and a truck accident claim. The truck's weight can cause far more catastrophic injuries. There are also state and federal regulations to consider in determining who is liable and why. The truck accident attorneys at Gergel, Nickles & Solomon in Columbia, South Carolina, have the experience it takes to handle a complex tractor-trailer accident claim.

Trucking companies and insurance companies have lawyers on their side. Make sure you have a personal injury attorney who can represent you in making a personal injury claim.

• Our law firm will investigate the company and driver—driver work logs, driver training, payload capacity of the truck, truck maintenance logs. What is the trucking company's safety record? How many accidents have they had?
• We retain experts who can provide accident reconstruction including animation so that the insurance company, the trucking company, and the jury can understand what happened. These experts can also analyze information from the truck's "black box."
• Truck accidents may have multiple liable parties. The tractor and trailer may be owned or leased by more than one company. Especially when there are catastrophic injuries requiring a lifetime of care, it is important to hold all responsible parties liable.
• Our nurse practitioner, nurse paralegal, and the medical experts we retain can review the medical records to determine the extent of injuries and what care will be needed going forward.
