Commercial truck like 18-wheelers, dump trucks, and delivery vehicles are a common sight on I-520, Highway 25, and Martintown Road. But when a truck driver or company makes a mistake, the damage is often devastating. If you or a loved one was injured in a truck crash in North Augusta, Aiken, or Edgefield County, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent victims of serious truck accidents. We hold trucking companies accountable and help injured clients recover medical costs, lost income, and more.
What Causes Truck Accidents?
Trucking companies are responsible for putting safe, qualified drivers on the road—and keeping their vehicles properly maintained. When they cut corners, people get hurt.
Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Speeding or unsafe lane changes
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Brake failure or poor maintenance
- Inexperienced or poorly trained drivers
We investigate the cause of the crash and gather the evidence needed to prove fault.
Who’s Liable in a Truck Accident?
Unlike standard car crashes, truck accidents often involve multiple parties. We pursue claims against:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company or freight carrier
- Cargo loaders or third-party logistics firms
- Vehicle maintenance contractors
- Manufacturers of defective parts
- Other drivers involved in multi-vehicle collisions
We review driver logs, maintenance records, and black box data to hold everyone responsible fully accountable.
Common Truck Accident Injuries
Because of their size and weight, commercial trucks often cause catastrophic injuries in a crash.
We represent clients with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Broken bones or crush injuries
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Severe burns and disfigurement
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death claims)
We work with medical experts and life care planners to calculate your current and future needs.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were injured in a truck accident, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Emergency medical treatment
- Surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Permanent disability or loss of mobility
- Property damage or vehicle loss
- Funeral expenses (for fatal accidents)
At Ted Law Firm, we fight for full compensation, not just what the insurance company wants to pay.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are More Complex
Trucking companies and their insurers act quickly to protect their interests often sending investigators to the scene within hours. You need your own legal team doing the same.
We handle:
- Crash scene investigations
- Preservation of black box and electronic evidence
- Analysis of driver history and employer negligence
- Communications with insurers and legal teams
We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial even if it settles out of court.
