SC LOCAL ACCIDENT DATA
In South Carolina, there are approximately 5,200 truck accidents annually, resulting in nearly 1,200 injuries and around 200 fatalities. Charleston specifically sees a substantial portion of these incidents due to heavy commercial traffic, especially in areas around I-26 and U.S. Route 17. FMCSA inspection data shows that about 20% of trucks inspected in Charleston have one or more out-of-service violations, contributing to risky road conditions.
SC STATE LAW & DEADLINES
In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including truck accidents, is three years from the date of the accident. South Carolina follows a modified comparative fault rule, allowing victims to recover damages as long as they are less than 51% at fault. Additionally, the state has specific regulations for trucking operations, which add layers to liability claims and affect the overall value of lawsuits filed in Charleston.
HIGH-RISK CORRIDORS
Charleston's major commercial corridors include I-26, I-526, and U.S. Route 17, notorious for truck traffic and accidents. Specifically, the interchange at I-26 and I-526 is a common hotspot for collisions. Other areas of concern include the stretch of U.S. 17 leading to the Port of Charleston, where large trucks frequently navigate tight turns and heavy traffic.
