Why Truck Accidents Happen So Often in Florence
Florence plays a vital role in South Carolina’s shipping and logistics industry, making it one of the busiest truck corridors in the Pee Dee. With that constant truck traffic comes an increased risk of serious accidents—especially when safety isn’t the top priority.
Some of the most common causes of truck crashes in the Florence area include:
- Driver fatigue from long-distance travel
- Speeding or reckless driving on interstates
- Distracted drivers using phones or GPS
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Poor truck maintenance or worn-out brakes
- Inexperienced or undertrained drivers
- Violations of federal safety regulations
While a trucking company’s priority may be delivery deadlines or profit, our priority is making sure that your rights—and your recovery—come first.
Truck Accidents Lead to Serious, Long-Term Injuries
When a passenger vehicle collides with a fully loaded truck, the consequences can be devastating. We represent truck accident victims in Florence suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Spinal cord damage and partial or full paralysis
- Multiple broken bones or crush injuries
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Severe burns, cuts, and permanent scarring
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
The physical injuries are just one piece of the story. These crashes also create financial strain, lost work time, and emotional stress that can linger long after the hospital bills arrive. That’s why we build each case with care—ensuring that your long-term needs are not overlooked.
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
Unlike a simple fender bender, truck accident cases often involve multiple parties—and multiple insurance companies. We conduct a full investigation into your case to determine all sources of liability, including:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company or fleet owner
- A freight broker or logistics firm
- A third-party maintenance provider
- The manufacturer of defective truck parts
At The Law Office of Hunter L. Windham, LLC, we gather and analyze data from driver logs, vehicle inspections, black box devices, GPS tracking, and more to build a strong, evidence-backed claim.
