Accidents in and around Spartanburg

Two interstates cross in Spartanburg County, and both of them are working roads. I-85 carries freight between Atlanta and Charlotte, I-26 climbs toward Asheville, and the plants, distribution centers, and the inland port at Greer put commercial trucks in those lanes alongside people driving to work on US-29 and Asheville Highway. A wreck with a commercial truck is a different animal. More than one insurer is usually involved, and the carrier's side generally starts collecting its own information right away. You have three years. Spartanburg County Court of Common Pleas is where a suit would be filed. Downtown around Morgan Square is slower traffic and the same fault questions.

Frequently asked questions

Which agency has my Spartanburg crash report?

The Spartanburg Police Department for wrecks inside the city, the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office for the county, and the South Carolina Highway Patrol for most of what happens on I-85 and I-26. Reports stay where they were written. Ask the responding officer for the case number, and note the road and the direction you were traveling, because it makes the request cleaner.

Which court handles an injury case out of Spartanburg?

Spartanburg County Court of Common Pleas, for a crash in Spartanburg County. That's the civil trial court in South Carolina, it's where a suit would be filed if the claim doesn't settle, and the three-year deadline runs from the date of the crash either way. We are not a law firm. Nothing here is legal advice about your situation.

A tractor-trailer hit me on I-85. What is different about that claim?

The number of parties. A commercial crash can involve the driver, the motor carrier, a trailer owner, and sometimes a shipper, each with separate insurance. South Carolina's 51% bar still applies to you, so anything that shifts blame onto your lane change or your speed reduces what you can recover, and past 50% it ends the claim. Photograph the cab door, because the company name and DOT number are on it.

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.
