FAQs

Why should I hire a truck accident lawyer after a collision?

Truck accidents often involve serious injuries, multiple liable parties, and complex insurance policies. A truck accident lawyer can investigate the cause of the crash, gather evidence, and fight for the compensation you deserve. At Rosen Hagood, our Charleston truck accident lawyers understand how to take on trucking companies and win.

What makes truck accident cases different from car accident cases?

Truck crashes typically involve commercial vehicles, federal safety regulations, and large insurance carriers. That’s why it’s critical to work with a truck accident attorney who has experience handling these high-stakes cases and knows how to uncover violations or negligence that led to the crash.

How do I find the best truck crash lawyer for my case?

The best truck crash lawyer will have specific experience with trucking litigation, a track record of success, and access to experts like accident reconstructionists and trucking regulation specialists. At Rosen Hagood, our attorneys are trusted advocates for those seriously injured in truck accidents.

What can a Charleston semi truck accident attorney do for me?

A Charleston semi truck accident attorney can handle all aspects of your case—from investigating driver logs and maintenance records to negotiating with insurers and taking your case to court if necessary. We know what it takes to hold trucking companies accountable.

Who can be held liable in a truck accident case?

Liability may fall on the truck driver, the trucking company, a maintenance provider, a parts manufacturer, or even a cargo loader. A skilled truck accident lawyer will identify all responsible parties and pursue full compensation on your behalf.

Do I need a lawyer if the trucking company’s insurance already offered me a settlement?

Yes. Insurance companies often make low initial offers to limit their liability. A truck accident attorney can evaluate your claim’s true value and negotiate for the full compensation you’re entitled to—including future medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault in the truck accident?

Yes. South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you were less than 51% at fault, you may still recover damages—though your compensation may be reduced. Our Charleston truck accident lawyers can evaluate your case and protect your rights.
