Commercial trucks can do a lot of damage if involved in an accident. Although commercial truck drivers have to follow certain rules to help keep them and others safe, crashes still happen. If they hit a smaller vehicle, the difference in size and weight between a commercial semi-truck and a smaller vehicle can cause serious injuries or even fatalities to those involved. If you have been badly hurt in a South Carolina truck crash, you may still be dealing with the aftermath: perhaps serious personal injuries, permanent disabilities, acute or chronic pain, and other changes to your daily life and quality of life.
The most important thing for you to know right now is that you are not alone. Other people have also been in your situation and have made a full recovery.
You also need to know that you do not have to – and should not – face the aftermath of a serious truck accident alone. The experienced attorneys of the McKinney, Tucker & Lemel LLC Law Firm in Rock Hill, South Carolina, are here to help truck accident victims like you seek the compensation they deserve.
Contact us today for the assessment of your case. Let us fight for the compensation you deserve from the insurance company and work to ensure that justice is served for you.
You and The Insurance Company After a Tractor Trailer Crash – What To Expect
If you have been injured in a truck accident, you may be surprised to find that the trucking company & insurance companies are less helpful than expected. Instead of quick resolution of a claim, they deal out delays, denials and insulting settlement offers. This can be devastating for victims, as a truck accident can cause more injuries than a car accident, and victims may be left struggling with medical bills and lost income.
Insurance companies’ No. 1 priority is to make a profit. If they pay out fair settlements to everyone, it cuts into their bottom line.
Our lawyers at McKinney, Tucker & Lemel LLC have worked as insurance defense attorneys and understand the tricks of the trade. We know the lengths they will go to in order to minimize a legitimate truck crash injury claim. We don’t want to see that happen to you.
Regardless of what the insurance company tells you, we urge you: DO NOT accept or sign anything offered to you by the insurance after a truck wreck until you have discussed it with an established South Carolina truck accident attorney or semi-truck accident attorney.
If you have a truck accident settlement offer from an insurance company, contact McKinney, Tucker & Lemel LLC to have it reviewed and assessed today. We are also ready to help if the insurance is disputing liability or refuses to make an offer. If you haven’t yet filed an insurance claim, we can help you right from the start.
Experience, compassion, and attention to detail are the guiding principles that we base our practice on. When it comes to something as important as compensation for your injuries and loss, you need to choose a truck wreck lawyer you can trust.

Please note, the state of South Carolina does place a time limit on how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit, such as a truck accident claim. That time limit (known as the statute of limitations) is three years. If your lawsuit has not been filed within that time period, you will have lost your opportunity to have your case heard in court. Do not delay in speaking with a truck accident lawyer at our law firm. We will do the hard work to get you the compensation you deserve.
