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 blow out
  • 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 usually occur in the early morning hours or late at night. They also usually occur on the weekends, and frequently involve impaired drivers. These types of car accident cases usually 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 damages, and 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. Have you been hit by a drunk driver? If you have been a victim involved in an accident with a drunk driver, we have the experience to help you. After spending nearly five years working as a prosecutor putting drunk drivers in jail, attorney Thomas Creech saw first hand the serious problems that these drivers represent.  Upon opening his own personal injury law practice in 2003, he was able to start helping victims obtain monetary compensation through the civil justice system. 

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. Read more about drunk driver-related accidents.

Wrongful Death from a Car Accident
