What Are the Common Causes of These Accidents?

It is essential to pursue legal representation as soon as possible after an accident because trucking carriers will look to cover up or eliminate any incriminating evidence.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Truck Accident in South Carolina?
The largest difference between a typical car accident and a commercial truck crash is who can be found responsible. A truck driver may have been at fault, but most drivers do not have the personal insurance limits or assets required to pay the kinds of damages sought out by most commercial truck accident victims. There are also a number of other parties that could be responsible for certain kinds of truck accidents may include, but are not limited to the following:
- Truck Driver Employers
- Truck Owners
- Maintenance Companies
- Truck Part Manufacturers
- Drivers and/or Owners of Other Vehicles
- Freight Owners
