Truck Accidents Are Not Ordinary Collisions
A collision with an 18-wheeler, tractor-trailer, or heavy-duty commercial truck is almost always serious. The size and weight difference between a truck and a passenger vehicle means that the driver or occupants of the smaller car often suffer the most harm.
Truck accident cases also involve unique challenges, such as:
- Federal safety regulations and driver hour limits
- Maintenance and inspection records
- GPS and black box data
- Multiple responsible parties, including trucking companies and freight brokers
- High-stakes insurance defense teams working against you
You don’t have to face this situation alone. We’ll take on the legal burden so you can focus on healing.
Common Truck Crash Scenarios in Rural Horry County

- Speeding on rural two-lane roads
