Charleston, South Carolina, Transportation Insurance Defense Attorneys

Defending Against Commercial Truck Accident Lawsuits

When commercial vehicles are involved in auto collisions that result in a death or permanent disability, the litigation that follows can have high stakes for everyone involved. It is imperative for the insurance companies who hold the policy to employ a vigorous defense against claimants who often enter the trial with the advantage of having the jury's sympathies on their side.

But by carefully reviewing all of the facts, we can help ensure that reason prevails and that if a settlement is awarded, it is ultimately a fair one. To schedule an appointment with Pritchard & Elliott, click here or call us at (843) 722-3300. Our attorneys are highly experienced in handling issues involving both insurance coverage and insurance defense. We also draw from a growing reservoir of experience in dealing specifically with trucking accidents and transportation insurance defense.

Each case presents unique problems, and we are fully capable of handling them all. These problems include:

• Determining who is at fault
• Determining whether or not there is coverage available
• Determining how much compensation is owed
• Deciding how to distribute compensation among parties — especially when there might not be enough to go around
