Truck Accidents in Myrtle Beach, SC

The Myrtle Beach Police Department works crashes inside the city, including Ocean Boulevard and Kings Highway, while Horry County Police generally respond outside the city limits and the South Carolina Highway Patrol takes much of US-501 and SC-31. Request the report from that agency. An involved party can generally get a copy, including a passenger or someone who was on foot.

Horry County Court of Common Pleas, which sits in Conway rather than at the beach, because Conway is the county seat and the civil trial court for the county sits there, inland from the Grand Strand. Most claims settle long before anyone drives out there. The three-year filing deadline applies whether or not a suit is ever filed. It isn't optional.

Their insurance is generally what pays, and an out-of-state policy still covers a crash that happened here, so what you need from the scene is identification: plate, license, insurance card, and the case number from the report. Three years is the window. Tracking a visiting driver generally gets harder the longer it sits.

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.
