Auto Accidents

If you have been injured in a car accident, you already know the consequences. You hurt. You may be out of work. The doctors’ bills are growing. What you may or may not know is that you need a local lawyer to help you. We at Hetrick, Harvin and Bonds can provide you that help. You may be entitled to recover monetary damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages. In order to protect yourself and bring a claim, you should contact the car accident lawyers at Hetrick, Harvin & Bonds as soon as possible. More about auto accidents.

Trucking Accidents

A large number of traffic deaths and serious injuries in South Carolina involve large trucks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 457,000 large trucks were involved in accidents in 2003. The number involved in fatal accidents - 4,669 - was 8 percent higher than 10 years earlier. If you have been involved in an accident with one of these vehicles, you should seek legal help immediately. More about truck accidents.

Auto Defects

No matter how safely people try to drive, automobile accidents occur. Most of us count on our vehicle to protect us in a serious wreck. We do not expect our vehicle to cause or contribute to the wreck. Nor do we expect its safety components like a door latch, seat belt or air bag to fail. When such components fail, what could have been an accident with minor injuries often becomes a catastrophic event resulting in serious injury or death. More about auto defects.

Traffic Tickets

If you have received a traffic ticket in South Carolina, you need to be aware of how the ticket could affect both your car insurance rates as well as your driver’s license points. Pleading guilty to a speeding or reckless driving ticket can result in you paying higher car insurance rates for years. In addition, the points subtracted from your driver’s license could ultimately affect your ability to drive. At Hetrick, Harvin & Bonds, we offer a free initial consultation to explain how the traffic violation could affect you and what our traffic ticket lawyers could do on your behalf if you are cited for offenses such as:

• Driving under the influence 
• Speeding
• Improper lane changes
• Failing to yield right of way
• Reckless driving
• Driving without insurance
• Driving under suspension
