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.

To schedule a free consultation to discuss your case, contact the South Carolina tractor-trailer accident lawyers at McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC today. Our Rock Hill, Columbia, and Anderson office locations represent clients throughout Charleston, Greenville, Anderson, Florence, Sumter, and Myrtle Beach.

Establishing the Facts

Whether you have been rear-ended by a delivery truck or side swiped by an 18-wheeler, a thorough, careful investigation of an accident often reveals information important to establishing your case. Trucking companies are legally responsible for fleet maintenance and the upkeep and repair of their vehicles, as well as record keeping and log books regarding driver activity.

Our accident reconstructionists and investigators determine when poor vehicle maintenance and violations of federal and state regulations contribute to accidents. Our tractor-trailer crash lawyers collect evidence and eyewitness testimony to establish what happened and how it could have been avoided.
