Experienced Charleston Truck Accident Attorneys
Accidents involving large trucks — big rigs, 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers — have the potential to result in catastrophic injuries to the victims. Professional truck drivers are held to a higher standard than other drivers. They have undergone specialized training and are bound by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's safety regulations.
If you have been injured in a trucking crash, it is critical that you discuss your case with an experienced personal injury lawyer immediately. At the Wigger Law Firm, Inc., we represent clients throughout South Carolina's Low Country, in other parts of the state and across the nation in all types of truck accident cases. Our attorneys have over 31 years of combined experience and we know what it takes to reach a positive result in your case.
Seeking Maximum Compensation for Your Injuries
Truck accident cases can be extremely complex because there are usually multiple parties who can be held accountable. Beyond the driver who caused the accident, the driver's employer, the owner of the truck, the truck manufacturer and others can all share in the liability for your injuries. We will determine and seek compensation from all responsible parties.
Trucking company insurers require their drivers to call immediately to begin an investigation. Many of them will be on the scene before the truck is even towed away.
When you hire our firm, we will get to work immediately investigating your case. We go to the scene and photograph skid marks, which only last a few days in the best of conditions, but quickly lighten with bad weather and traffic. We will also call in accident reconstruction experts and any other necessary specialists to help us prove liability. We look at the driver's log books and compare that information to satellite monitoring data in order to prove our case.
Above all else, our commitment is to help you obtain the compensation and care you need to recover from your injuries.
