Fatal Truck Accidents in South Carolina
Fatal car accidents take place far too often. In the United States, these accidents claim the lives of more than 40,000 people each year. In many cases, fatal collisions here in our state are caused by negligent drivers. Some of the leading factors include actions like speeding, impairment, and driving while distracted.
