Commercial Truck Accidents in South Carolina …
Tidelands Law ◊ A Leading Trial Lawyer in Georgetown
If you're reading this, then you're probably already well aware of the danger that commercial trucks can pose on the road. In fact, because of that danger, trucking companies are expected to adhere to very strict federal safety guidelines.
Whenever an 18-wheeler crashes, it means something went wrong … and it's usually a sign that those guidelines were violated. At Tidelands Law, we'll conduct a thorough investigation to get to the bottom of how and why your accident was caused.
If you or a loved one were involved in a commercial truck accident, contact a lawyer right away. For a free consultation at Tidelands Law, call (843) 485-0977 or contact us online today.

The Tidelands: Population Growth Means Dangerous Roads
The Tidelands of South Carolina have experienced a tremendous increase in population over the last few years. With an increased population comes an increase in road traffic. But unfortunately our road system hasn't quite kept pace.
As a result, lots of new highway construction has to happen before we can catch up. And that makes traffic even worse. When roads are snarled with commuters, tourists and commercial vehicles, truck accidents become all the more likely.
Look Out for Insurance Adjusters!
It's a strange commentary on our society to note that insurance adjusters often appear on the scene of a semi wreck before the emergency responders. What are insurance adjusters doing at an accident? They are trying to save their employers money.
They're looking for evidence that might help them decrease the value of your settlement. If insurance adjusters approach you, don't believe them when they say they're there to help — and don't tell them anything.
Ask them to go through your attorney instead. If you haven't hired an attorney yet, for your own sake you really should hire one soon — even if it isn't us. For a free consultation at Tidelands Law to discuss a commercial truck accident, call (843) 485-0977 or contact us online today.
