Driving throughout Chapin and the surrounding Lake Murray basin involves navigating high-speed two-lane corridors and complex seasonal recreational traffic. When a severe collision or boating incident occurs, corporate insurance companies treat the file with a specific bias. They assume that because the crash didn’t happen in a massive urban center, they can downplay the structural forces involved, calling it a simple “rural lane mishap.” They move quickly to contact you within days of the wreck, offering a fast, minor payout while you are in physical pain and stressed by missed work.

We represented a 26 year old man from Aiken County. He was operating his vehicle out of state when he crashed into the rear of an 18 wheeler stopped in the middle of the interstate. Our attorneys worked to prove that the accident started months before the accident. We examined the truck, the maintenance records, driving logs, and the vehicle data recorder. After extensive discovery, we were able to show that the 18 wheeler was not broken down in the roadway because of a mechanical failure that day but because of shoddy maintenance. We proved this collision occurred because the trucking company engaged in a pattern of conduct that could only end with injury to others on the roadways. The resolution will not repair the catastrophic brain and physical injuries he suffered. Fortunately, we were able to secure a result for this family that guarantees he will have the best care moving forward and every chance at improvement no matter how slight.
