Highway Crashes in South Carolina
Collisions at intersections, like the one at South Highway 57 and Highway 90, are a common occurrence in South Carolina, often leading to serious injuries. High-speed roads and crossing traffic contribute to a heightened risk of severe crashes, particularly in early morning hours when visibility may be reduced.
In many cases, intersection crashes result from failure to yield, distracted driving, or driver fatigue. Victims of these accidents often face significant challenges, including medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term recovery. South Carolina law allows injured individuals to seek compensation when another driver’s negligence is involved, but navigating insurance claims and liability disputes can be complex.
For those impacted by serious crashes, securing legal and medical assistance can be crucial in ensuring fair compensation and proper care. Gathering key evidence, such as accident reports, witness statements, and medical records, can strengthen a case for those seeking justice after a collision.
