Driving throughout the Greenwood area means sharing the road with a constant, heavy flow of local commuter traffic, commercial distribution fleets, and massive industrial shipping vehicles servicing the regional manufacturing core. When a serious collision occurs on these high-volume lanes, corporate insurance adjusters jump on the file with a clear agenda. They recognize that commercial trucking wrecks and high-impact highway collisions involve massive physical forces, which frequently result in severe structural injuries, concussions, and lengthy recovery timelines. Their immediate strategy is to offer a rapid, lowball lump sum settlement within days of the incident—hoping you sign away your rights before a medical specialist can evaluate the true, long-term costs of your injuries.

Our client from Columbia worked in a warehouse in Lexington SC. He operated a forklift loading and unloading 18 wheelers from the docks. As he was loading a truck, it rolled away from the docks and he and the fork lift flipped over onto the parking deck. He suffered spinal injuries that made walking and daily life painful. We obtained the maintenance records and driving logs from the company. The case focused around the driver exceeding allowable hours, poor brake maintenance, and the failure to use chocks while parked.
