What Makes Truck Accidents So Complex?
Truck accidents aren’t just bigger versions of car wrecks—they come with added layers of legal complexity. From the size of the vehicles to the number of parties involved, these cases require detailed investigation and experience with state and federal trucking laws.
We represent Goose Creek clients injured in crashes involving:
- 18-wheelers and tractor-trailers
- Box trucks and delivery vehicles
- Utility and service trucks
- Logging and construction haulers
- Commercial vans and fleet vehicles
Common causes of these accidents include:
- Fatigued or overworked drivers
- Distracted driving (texting, GPS use)
- Speeding or following too closely
- Improperly secured or overloaded cargo
- Brake or tire failure from poor maintenance
- Failure to yield or unsafe lane changes
Even a single mistake by a truck driver—or a company cutting corners—can lead to a catastrophic event. When that happens, you need an attorney who will act quickly and strategically.
Injuries from Truck Crashes Are Often Severe
Due to the sheer force of impact, truck accident victims often suffer more serious injuries than those in typical collisions. At The Law Office of Hunter L. Windham, LLC, we advocate for clients suffering from:
- Brain and head trauma
- Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
- Fractures and orthopedic damage
- Internal bleeding or collapsed lungs
- Burns, lacerations, and scarring
- Emotional trauma or post-traumatic stress
Whether your injuries are immediately obvious or develop over time, we ensure your claim reflects the full extent of your pain, treatment needs, and long-term limitations.
Determining Who’s at Fault
Truck accident cases often involve multiple potentially responsible parties. Our firm investigates every angle to determine who should be held liable:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The company that loaded the truck
- A maintenance or repair provider
- The manufacturer of a faulty part
We collect driver logs, maintenance records, black box data, dashcam footage, and witness statements to uncover exactly what happened. From there, we pursue compensation aggressively on your behalf.
