McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC
South Carolina Tractor Trailer Accident Attorneys
Trucking companies are regulated by state and federal law. Drivers must adhere to licensing and training requirements, safety inspections, and procedures for keeping track of the number of hours they have driven at any given time.
McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC has a thorough understanding of the trucking industry and what to investigate when driver negligence results in a semi-truck wreck. Our trucking accident lawyers subpoena drivers’ logs, drug test results, training records, and analyze the on-board black box recorder to determine what happened at the time of an accident. If a driver or company cuts corners to protect their bottom line, we expose their actions and hold them legally and financially responsible.
