Yarborough Applegate Law Firm aims to protect those who sustain personal injuries by fighting for and delivering the results they deserve and the compensation necessary to move forward. Our ultimate goal is to inspire greater change and prevent these unfortunate accidents from occurring in the first place.
Last week, a personal injury lawsuit in which Yarborough Applegate represented an injured Bennettsville couple resulted in a settlement that could lead to cellphone policy changes for trucking firms on a wide scale.
Federal law currently sets minimum standards for commercial drivers, but specific operational rules are dictated on the company level which leads to widespread policy execution. This settlement resulted in a policy change for a large manufacturer that currently has 60 trucks on South Carolina and North Carolina roadways and ultimately sets the stage for other large trucking companies to follow suit and tighten their own policies.

When tractor trailer drivers attempt a U-turn, they place all other drivers on the road at risk. In fact, tractor trailers making U-turns are so dangerous, most major trucking companies in the United States ban them entirely.
The suit was brought on by our plaintiff, a Claflin University student and the lone survivor of the wreck. The hard-earned verdict was the culmination of years of work and followed a nearly two-week trial.
