How fault works

Modified comparative negligence, 51% bar

Collisions with 18-wheelers and commercial trucks moving through South Carolina's port and freight corridors can involve federal FMCSA regulations, multiple potentially responsible parties, and sizable commercial insurance coverage. As an at-fault state, South Carolina places responsibility on the party that caused the crash, and its modified comparative negligence 51% bar lets you recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, with any award reduced by your share. These cases can turn on evidence like driver logs and maintenance records that is important to preserve early. You generally have three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim in South Carolina. FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed attorney who focuses on these higher-stakes cases.
