Common Causes and Injuries in Hilton Head Truck Accidents 

When you are entitled to just compensation for a truck accident in South Carolina, proving your legal rights starts with proving why the accident happened. Truck accidents have several common causes, including: 

• Aggressive driving (i.e., tailgating, speeding, and running red lights and stop signs)
• Distracted driving 
• Fatigued driving
• Impaired driving 
• Reckless driving (i.e., merging without checking blind spots or turning without the right of way)

These causes, among others, can leave victims and their families facing a lifetime of financial and non-financial costs. Luke helps victims and families seek to recover these costs in cases involving injuries such as: 

• Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Nerve and tissue damage 
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

Here, too, these are just examples. Regardless of what happened, if you need help after a truck accident in Hilton Head, we strongly encourage you to get in touch. Luke will explain everything you need to know, and he will fight to secure justice on your behalf by all means available.

Who Do I Sue in a Truck Accident Case?

In most cases, seeking just compensation for a truck accident in South Carolina involves suing the company that owns or operates the truck. Not only can these companies be held liable for their drivers’ negligence behind the wheel, but they can be held liable for inadequate maintenance and other truck-related issues as well. These companies usually have substantial insurance policies, and most successful truck accident cases end with out-of-court settlements. 

With that said, there are other possibilities as well. Some truck drivers are owner-operators, and sometimes defects from the factory can make truck manufacturers liable for victims’ and families’ losses. When Luke investigates your truck accident case, he will examine all possibilities, and he will make sure he is fighting to hold the appropriate party (or parties) accountable. 

What Damages Can I Seek to Recover?

Regardless of the claim (or claims) you can file, you are entitled to just compensation for all of your financial and non-financial losses resulting from the collision. Truck accident victims and their families will also be entitled to punitive damages in some cases. 

• Financial Damages – Common financial damages include medical expenses, other out-of-pocket costs, and lost wages. 
• Non-Financial Damages – Common non-financial damages include pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment of life. 
• Punitive Damages – Punitive damages are available in cases involving particularly egregious conduct, such as driving a commercial truck under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
