Why Truck Accidents Are Different
Not all motor vehicle accidents are the same. When a passenger car is hit by a large commercial truck, the consequences are often far more severe due to the size, speed, and weight involved. Even a relatively “low-speed” crash with a tractor-trailer can result in catastrophic injuries.
Truck accident cases are also different in terms of liability. Multiple parties could be responsible for your injuries, including:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- A freight or logistics contractor
- A third-party maintenance provider
- The manufacturer of a defective truck part
Our job is to investigate every aspect of the crash to determine what went wrong—and who should be held accountable.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in the Aynor Area
Despite being a quieter community, Aynor sits along important transportation corridors. As a result, many accidents involve large trucks heading to or from the beach, the inland ports, or distribution hubs in Florence and Conway. We’ve seen truck crashes caused by:
- Driver fatigue due to long hours and ignored rest rules
- Distracted driving from cell phones or navigation systems
- Speeding, especially on two-lane roads or curves
- Unsecured or overloaded cargo shifting in transit
- Equipment failure, such as worn brakes or bald tires
- Negligent hiring or training by the trucking company
When a professional driver or company cuts corners, the people who suffer are usually those in smaller vehicles. We step in to make sure they don’t get away with it.
Injuries from Truck Crashes Can Be Devastating
The physical trauma from a truck accident often requires long-term care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and time away from work. We represent clients in Aynor who have suffered:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Broken bones and crushed limbs
- Internal bleeding or organ injuries
- Severe lacerations or burns
- Emotional trauma and anxiety
Some of these injuries never fully heal. If you’ve lost the ability to work, care for your family, or enjoy your everyday life, you deserve a legal advocate who fights for every dollar you’re owed.
