Bluffton, South Carolina, Truck Accident Lawyer
Car-truck collisions often result in serious injuries for the driver and passengers of the car. For this reason, it's important for your lawyer to investigate all possible sources of recovery.
Dale Akins is a lawyer with nearly 20 years of experience in representing people injured in accidents involving heavy trucks, known as tractor-trailers, semis or 18-wheelers. He handles truck accident cases occurring anywhere in South Carolina or Georgia.
In a truck accident occurring in South Carolina, the driver might be from Florida, the tractor from Georgia and the trailer from Michigan. Each may be covered by a different insurance company. Since truck accidents can result in very large claims, the insurance companies involved will usually all try to deny responsibility. As your attorney, Mr. Akins will work with accident reconstruction and truck safety experts to determine how the accident happened and to hold the trucking company and its insurers responsible.
All too often, trucking accidents are caused by deliberate violation of municipal, state and federal safety regulations. Among these is the requirement that truck drivers take periodic rest breaks to prevent driver fatigue. Trucking companies are required to hire qualified drivers and conduct periodic tests for use of illegal drugs. Mr. Akins is familiar with trucking regulations that apply to trucks in South Carolina and Georgia, and he will take immediate steps to secure the documents that are needed to prove any violations of safety regulations that occurred.
Mr. Akins understands the fear and uncertainty you and your family members face following a catastrophic injury. While money can never replace what you have lost, he will work with doctors, financial planners and other experts so he can attempt to recover compensation to meet your future needs.
