How Liability Works in Greenville Truck Accidents

Truck accident cases are particularly complicated. In addition to having specific state and federal rules and regulations, these cases typically involve multiple at-fault parties.

Many times, our investigation finds multiple parties shared fault for the collision, such as:

• Truck Drivers
• Trucking Companies
• Trailer Owners
• Vehicle Manufacturers
• The People or Company Who Loaded The Truck
• Maintenance Companies, and More.

In South Carolina, you can only recover compensation if you are found to be no more than 50% at fault for the accident. This is known as modified comparative negligence, and it’s one of the many reasons why you should always speak with a lawyer after an accident before speaking with an insurance company.

Statute of Limitations in Greenville Truck Wreck Cases

In Greenville and throughout the state of South Carolina, you typically have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim.

However, trucking companies are only legally required to hold on to critical evidence for a few months. Hiring a law firm sooner than later will give your lawyer enough time to gather and preserve critical evidence, such as driver logs, black box data, inspection reports, security footage, and more.

How a Truck Accident Attorney Helps Your Case

Our team at Cavanaugh & Thickens, LLC fights to get you the best outcome possible while holding the at-fault parties accountable to help prevent these accidents from happening again in the future.

There are many ways a truck accident lawyer helps you and your claim.

• Our team will conduct a thorough investigation into your accident.

Our team uses our extensive experience and vast resources to conduct a thorough investigation into your accident, proving who was at fault and why. We will look into the driver(s) involved, the state of the driver at the time of the wreck, who loaded the truck, whether it was loaded properly, see if the truck was properly maintained, analyze log books, uncover any discrepancies or issues in documents, and much more. We use this information to determine fault, a critical part of all SC accident cases.

• We will find and preserve critical evidence.

Evidence in a truck accident case can disappear quickly, especially if you don’t have an experienced attorney on your side ensuring the evidence is preserved. Our team will work to immediately gather evidence that can be critical for your case, such as engine control module data, dash camera footage, driver logs, driver history, witness testimony, security footage, and more. We use this data to help us prove fault, damages, and more.

• We will fight to get you the entirety of what you deserve.

Using all of this evidence, our decades of combined experience, and history of strong results, we will aggressively negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf. We protect your rights, putting you and your goals for the case first.
