Types of Car Accidents
Here is a list of the types of car accident cases we have handled.
Single-Vehicle Accidents
Single-vehicle accidents can happen at different times of the day in a variety of situations. A single-vehicle accident is defined as a car collision in which only one vehicle is involved. Unfortunately, these accidents frequently result in devastating loss or personal injury to the driver or passengers.
Single-vehicle accidents can occur in the following ways:
- Defective roadside shoulders
- Lack of guardrail on the roadside
- Defective road conditions causing accidents such as potholes
- Water collecting on a road resulting in hydroplaning
- Defective tires on an automobile resulting in tire blowout
- Defective automobile design resulting in rollover or loss of control
- Lack of maintenance of dangerous road conditions by the highway department
- Lack of repair of dangerous road conditions by the highway department
- Obstructions in the roadside clear zone
Investigating Single-Vehicle Accidents
These types of accidents require a thorough investigation. For this reason, you need an advocate on your side. Retaining qualified, experienced legal counsel quickly after your accident will help your situation later on. Hence, hiring personal injury lawyer Thomas Creech is the first step to a successful case. Our team will ensure your case is handled thoroughly while keeping your best interest in mind.
Wrong-Way Car Accidents
A wrong-way car accident can change the lives of those involved in an instant. These car accidents commonly occur in the early morning or late at night, on the weekends, and frequently involve impaired drivers. These types of car accident cases often occur when a car has entered the exit ramp of a highway or interstate. Furthermore, the driver continues to travel in the wrong direction. A wrong-way car accident is typically more severe, causing more damage, and is frequently fatal. We represent people injured or killed in a wrong-way car accident.
Drunk Driver Car Accidents
Other types of car accidents are those caused by drunk drivers. About 12 in 100,000 people died in a motor vehicle traffic accident. Furthermore, 28% of those fatalities involved at least one driver under the influence. In a 2018 report released by Value Penguin, data shows South Carolina ranks #3 for most DUI-related deaths.
After spending nearly five years working as a prosecutor putting drunk drivers in jail, attorney Thomas Creech saw firsthand the serious problems that these drivers represent. Upon opening his personal injury law practice in 2003, he started helping victims obtain monetary compensation through the civil justice system.

Greenville Car Accident Lawyer Resources
Every case and client is different. After a collision has occurred, finding the right information can be difficult. Below are a few different resources we have put together that could help you while on the road:
Fatal Accidents & Wrongful Death
A fatal car accident case is a severe legal matter requiring an experienced, knowledgeable, skilled, and trustworthy attorney. We have represented many upstate families in cases of fatal car accidents and wrongful death car accidents. We focus our law practice on fatal car accidents involving wrongful death.
In fatal car accident cases, we often need to hire a team of investigators, including accident reconstructionists, traffic engineers, and economists, to evaluate future economic losses. Many of these cases also require psychologists to help work through the grief and the suffering surviving family members experience after losing a loved one, vocational experts, and other experts so that maximum compensation can be obtained and the proper at-fault parties can be held fully accountable.
In most cases, we focus on the at-fault driver. A distracted driver is an extreme danger to other drivers on the road and can cause a fatal car accident. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is also an extreme danger to other drivers. We have represented families who have lost loved ones because of distracted and DUI drivers.
Car Insurance in Fatal Car Accidents
Determining the available car insurance in a fatal car accident is vital. We use our know-how of insurance law to determine all available car insurance coverages to obtain the maximum amount of compensation available to our clients. Car insurance is complex, and we have uncovered sources of insurance that our clients were unaware existed or applied.
Was your loved one killed in a car accident case because of a bad road condition? Answering this question requires extensive fact investigation. We have represented families in fatal car accidents and wrongful death cases involving unsafe road conditions.
