Frequently Asked General Questions

How are truck accidents different?

Commercial vehicle accidents are significantly more complex than standard fender benders, requiring intensive corporate investigations and the collection of data from “black boxes” or on-board cameras. Often victims often face a challenging legal battle against multiple layers of insurance and corporations that aim to avoid making payments following collisions.

Insurance

Frequently Asked Insurance Questions

Does insurance cover car seat damage after an accident?

That is a debate. We look at car seats as part of the car, just not an accessory. If it is part of the damages in the accident, then it should be included as property damage, not just an accessory in the car.

Are insurance policies the same in every state?

Insurance policies and laws are not the same in every state. If you are hit by a person from another state, give us a call so we can help you understand how their insurance policies may differ.

What happens if you get hit by an uninsured driver?

Luckily, if you have insurance in the state of South Carolina, you are covered through the uninsured motorist coverage of your own insurance. It is a required policy in South Carolina, so if you are hit and the driver flees, you can still claim coverage with the help of your lawyer.

How to document an accident for insurance claims?

Contact law enforcement and get all the records of what is going on. Taking pictures and videos of the scene is another form of proof the insurance companies need. It is not about what happened, it is about what you can prove.

What you need to know if your insurance is denied after a hit and run?

Don’t let your own insurance company take advantage of you. They will do everything they can to not pay you after an accident, even if the person who hit you was drunk and fled the scene. Remember, Trey helps!

Prevention

Frequently Asked Questions Prevention

Am I allowed to use my phone while driving?

If you’re holding your phone while driving, you can be fined, and if you cause an accident, you could face even more serious consequences. Even if the accident isn’t your fault, having a phone in your hand can make it harder to prove your case. The best choice is to use hands-free options or wait until you’re safely stopped, because distracted driving is nearly as dangerous as drunk driving.

How important is it to wear a seatbelt?

One simple, smart, easy thing can prevent a massive tragedy. Wearing your seatbelt is not only the law, but can be a large preventative measure.

Client Testimonials

I had such a pleasant experience working with Trey and his staff. His executive assistant, Allie, was the best resource for guiding me through the process of my auto accident. She was personable, resourceful, and very helpful. I highly recommend!

- Jessica Pittman

Just an absolute champion. Trey and Allie were so consistently on point, attentive, and responsive it's hard to imagine he even has time for more than a single client at a time. In the months of dealing with Mr. Harrell's Law Office only 1 time I ever called was the phone not immediately picked up, but that 1 call was then immediately returned, they are actually that fast and responsive. This is a law office that genuinely is invested in providing you the absolutely best legal counsel and experience they can. They are also extremely patient, answering any and all of the questions you may have. I can't count the number of times I emailed or called to ask what 'this' meant, or what 'that' process was, and they always broke it down so well that whatever the topic was I fully understood it. The whole legal process can be difficult, and strenuous. But a lawyer like Trey Harrell is like finding out there's actually an easy mode. If you want to be helped, and to be treated like a person and not just a case file, Trey Harrell is your only option. This firm is simply put, top notch.

- MacKenna Angert

Cannot recommend enough!! Trey and his firm were incredible throughout the process of my hit and run. Every single time I had a question Allie (the executive assistant) knew who I was and answered it thoroughly and eased my mind about everything. Didn’t think I could get the compensation that they got me. Hopefully I won’t get in another accident but 10/10 would hire again!!

- Sophie Wachowski

Trey was very easy to work with and did an outstanding job getting my case dropped with ease. Highly recommend and will use him if needed again!

- Bebe Pleasant

I could not recommend Trey Harrell and his team enough - professional, made things easy for me and my family, and brought us peace when stressed. His colleague Allie was a pleasure throughout the process and was a joy to speak with. A family friend recommended Trey to us, and we’re so grateful for it.
