During the holiday season of 2022, Ms. Sherri was traveling westbound in the far-left lane on Sunset Boulevard in West Columbia, South Carolina. As she came to a complete stop for traffic ahead the driver of a massive commercial truck suddenly changed lanes from the center lane of travel to the left lane and suddenly collided with the rear of several vehicles, including Ms. Sherri’s car, at a high rate of speed. The severity of the wreck caused Ms. Sherri to immediately be transported to the hospital by ambulance where she was treated for her injuries.

The Stanley Law Group and The Starkes Law Firm were hired to represent Ms. Sherri in this case. After conducting a thorough investigation, South Carolina’s premiere truck accident attorneys found that the driver of the commercial truck did not have a valid driver’s license at the time of the crash and was not fit or legally qualified to operate the commercial truck.

The personal injury attorneys also found a lengthy and checkered history of traffic violations and driving infractions committed by the commercial driver making it abundantly clear that the commercial driver was unfit, incompetent, unsuitable, and not remotely qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle.

The road to recovery for the victim in this case was long and hard. Given her persistent pain and progressive decline, Ms. Sherri was later recommended for spinal surgery and underwent surgical intervention. Ms. Sherri’s life has been forever changed and impacted due to this wreck.

“The corporate defendant in this case had the responsibility of properly vetting the drivers that are hired and that operate company vehicles. Willingly allowing unlicensed drivers or drivers whose driver’s licenses are suspended behind the wheel of massive vehicles puts the general public at increased risk for catastrophe on the roadways. The victim in this case could have been you, your mother, your daughter, or your sister. This could happen to anyone, states Mark B. Stanley of The Stanley Law Group.”
