Truck Accidents claims in Greenville

Two kinds of commercial vehicle hit people in Greenville County, and they are not the same claim. One is line-haul on I-85, a driver running between Atlanta and Charlotte who has never been off this exit. The other is local: a box truck on Laurens Road, a service van on Pleasantburg, a contractor's dually pulling an overloaded trailer. Both drivers are covered by a commercial policy. Both put a company with something at stake behind the other driver, and a carrier generally has its own process running before you have decided whether you need to see a doctor at all. That is not a fair race. It is still the race you are in.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Greenville?

Greenville Police handle wrecks on city streets, including Main Street, Augusta Road, and Laurens Road inside the city, while the Greenville County Sheriff's Office covers the unincorporated county and the South Carolina Highway Patrol generally works I-85 and I-385. Pull the report from the agency whose officer wrote it, and bring the case number from the scene. Without it, expect a longer wait.

Which court would hear my Greenville injury case?

Greenville County Court of Common Pleas. That's the civil trial court for Greenville County, and a South Carolina injury suit generally starts there, though filing is the exception, since most claims get resolved with an insurer without a suit ever being drafted. The three-year deadline governs either way, and it runs from the date of the crash. If you already have a lawyer, you don't need us.

I was hit on a bike near the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Is that handled like a car crash?

Generally yes, when a motor vehicle is involved. The trail crosses streets at grade in several places, and a driver turning across one of those crossings raises the same fault question as any other collision, so expect the insurer to ask what you were wearing and whether you had a light. Under the 51% bar, your share of the blame comes off what you can recover. The question isn't idle.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in South Carolina?

In South Carolina, the deadline is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. 3 years personal injury; wrongful death 3 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
