In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim from a truck accident is three years from the date of the accident. If you do not file your claim within this time frame, you may lose the right to seek compensation.
South Carolina uses modified comparative fault rules, meaning if you are found to be 50% or more at fault for the accident, you cannot recover any damages. If you're less than 50% at fault, your damages may be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault.
Immediately after a truck accident, it’s important to ensure safety and call 911 for medical assistance if necessary. Gather evidence such as photos of the scene, witness information, and never admit fault at the scene, as this can affect your claim later.
Trucking companies are required to carry liability insurance to cover accidents. This insurance typically covers property damage, medical expenses, and lost wages for victims, but navigating these claims can be complex, so consulting with a legal expert is advised.
In South Carolina, victims of truck accidents may recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Punitive damages might be awarded in cases of gross negligence by the trucking company or driver.
