Tractor-Trailer Accident Attorneys

A truck crash is different from a car crash. First, the accident is likely very serious — cars do not stand up well in collisions with 40-ton vehicles, so the chances of catastrophic injury or death are very high. Second, the truck is a commercial vehicle, usually owned and operated by a business. Finally, truck accidents require research and particular knowledge. The owners of both truck and trailer are often out of state and hard to locate. Your lawyer needs to be knowledgeable about the Federal Motor Carrier Act and all the special state and federal laws that apply to commercial vehicles.

Knowledgeable South Carolina Tractor-Trailer Accident Attorneys

For all these reasons, you want the most experienced truck accident injury lawyer you can find when you are in such an accident, or have lost a loved one in such an accident.  Douglas Jennings Law Firm, LLC, of Bennettsville, has been holding trucking companies accountable when they cause serious damages for many years. We are respected for our thorough investigative prowess as well as our aggressiveness in seeking fair compensation for our clients.

Skillfull Trucking Accident Attorneys

We research driver’s logs, police reports and other evidence to establish what happened and whose fault it was. Sometimes drivers are ill-trained or the safety equipment is poorly maintained. Sometimes a product like a tire or a brake proves defective. Sometimes we learn that a driver was overtired or drunk.

When we accept your case, we go after offending trucking companies with all our legal experience and skills. We know how important your award or settlement is to getting your family back on its feet again. We want your compensation package to take care of all your needs for the future.

But we are motivated to obtain maximum compensation for another reason: The Pee Dee Region is our home. We want to send a loud and clear message to trucking companies — drive safely through our towns. Oversized vehicles are privileged to use our streets and highways. Companies who violate this trust and endanger our families and children must be held accountable. Nothing is more important than safe public highways for our families.
