Truck accidents are different. The injuries are more severe. The insurance policies are larger. And the companies defending the driver are more aggressive. If you were hurt in a truck accident near Aiken, Graniteville, or even on Interstate 20, you need a lawyer who knows how to handle complex commercial vehicle cases.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent people who have been seriously injured, or lost a loved one in accidents involving large trucks, 18-wheelers, and commercial vehicles. We help you understand your rights, investigate who’s responsible, and fight for full compensation.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often happen because of preventable driver or company errors. We investigate cases involving:
- Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Distracted or impaired truck drivers
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Poor truck maintenance or mechanical failure
- Inadequate driver training or supervision
- Blind spot and wide-turn collisions
If your crash happened on US-1, Highway 78, or near the Aiken-Augusta Highway, it may involve a regional or interstate trucking company. We identify the root cause and hold the right parties accountable.
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
Truck accident cases often involve more than just the driver. Our legal team looks at all possible sources of liability, including:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company or employer
- Cargo loaders or third-party contractors
- Vehicle maintenance providers
- Truck or parts manufacturers
- Commercial insurance companies
These cases often involve federal regulations, logbook audits, and black box data. We handle all of it, so you can focus on recovery.
Injuries We Commonly See in Truck Crashes
Because of their size and weight, trucks can cause catastrophic injuries. We represent victims suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Broken bones and crush injuries
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Severe burns or disfigurement
- Wrongful death
Our job is to fully document the short- and long-term impact of your injuries, and build a case that reflects the true cost of what you’ve lost.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Truck accident claims often involve higher settlements or verdicts due to the serious nature of the injuries and the level of insurance involved.
We pursue compensation for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Emotional trauma
- Vehicle damage
- Funeral and burial costs (in wrongful death cases)
We work with financial and medical experts to calculate the full value of your claim so nothing gets left out.
What to Do After a Truck Accident in Aiken
If you’re involved in a crash with a commercial truck:
- Call 911 and request a police report
- Get medical care even if injuries seem minor
