When an 18-wheeler or commercial truck crashes into a passenger vehicle, the results can be devastating. If you were hurt in a truck accident on I-26, U.S. 601, or anywhere near Magnolia Street in Orangeburg, you may be facing serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and uncertainty about your future.
At Ted Law Firm, we help truck accident victims in Orangeburg, Brookdale, North, and throughout Orangeburg County get the compensation they need and deserve. We know how to take on large trucking companies and their insurers, and we don’t back down.
What Causes Truck Accidents?
Truck accidents often occur because of negligence—either by the driver, the trucking company, or a third party.
Common causes include:
- Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
- Distracted or impaired driving
- Speeding or failure to brake in time
- Poor truck maintenance or equipment failure
- Overloaded or unsecured cargo
- Inadequate driver training
We investigate the cause of your crash and collect the evidence needed to prove liability.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Truck accident cases often involve multiple responsible parties, such as:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company or freight carrier
- A cargo loading company
- A maintenance or repair contractor
- A manufacturer of defective parts
- Other negligent drivers involved in the crash
We uncover every potential source of liability and compensation.
Common Truck Accident Injuries
Truck accidents frequently result in serious or permanent injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles.
We represent victims suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Crush injuries and amputations
- Internal organ damage
- Broken bones and orthopedic injuries
- Burn injuries and disfigurement
- Wrongful death
We coordinate with your doctors, specialists, and life care planners to ensure your claim reflects the full scope of your injury and its long-term impact.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If your injuries were caused by a negligent truck driver or trucking company, you may be entitled to recover damages for:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Ongoing treatment and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Permanent disability or scarring
- Vehicle repair or replacement
- Funeral and burial expenses (in fatal crash cases)
We negotiate aggressively, and take your case to court if the insurance company won’t pay fairly.

At Ted Law Firm, we:
- Preserve black box data and driver logs
