A crash with a commercial truck can leave you with life-changing injuries, months of recovery, and insurance companies that want to minimize your claim. If you were injured in a truck accident near US-501, Kings Highway, or on I-95, you need a legal team that knows how to handle serious cases and push back against powerful insurers.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent truck accident victims in Myrtle Beach, Conway, North Myrtle Beach, and throughout Horry County. We fight for your rights, and the full compensation you deserve.
What Causes Truck Accidents in South Carolina?
Most truck accidents happen because of driver error or trucking company negligence.
We handle cases involving:
- Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
- Speeding or reckless lane changes
- Distracted or impaired truck drivers
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Brake failure or mechanical issues
- Inadequate driver training
- Poor road or weather conditions combined with driver inattention
Whether your crash involved an 18-wheeler, delivery truck, or commercial vehicle, we’ll investigate who’s at fault and build a strong claim on your behalf.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Unlike regular car crashes, truck accidents often involve multiple responsible parties. Our legal team investigates and holds all liable parties accountable:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company or freight carrier
- A maintenance contractor or repair shop
- A third-party logistics company
- The manufacturer of a defective part
- Other drivers involved in the crash
We secure evidence like black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, and more to prove what happened, and who should pay.
Common Truck Accident Injuries
Truck accidents often cause severe or fatal injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles.
We represent clients with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Broken bones and internal injuries
- Amputations and crush injuries
- Burns and disfigurement
- Wrongful death cases
We work with medical professionals and life care planners to determine the full impact of your injury and your future needs.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
You may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Emergency room care and hospitalization
- Surgery, rehabilitation, and physical therapy
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Long-term care or home modifications
- Property damage
- Funeral expenses (in wrongful death cases)
We work to recover every dollar you’re entitled to, and we don’t settle for less than you deserve.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different
Trucking companies and insurers have legal teams ready to defend their drivers and minimize payouts. They act fast after a crash often sending investigators to the scene within hours.
That’s why you need a legal team of your own just as fast.
At Ted Law Firm, we move quickly to preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and build a case that’s ready for court even if your claim settles out of court.
