Negligence is a concept deeply ingrained in personal injury cases, including those involving truck accidents in South Carolina. It refers to the failure of an individual or entity – such as a truck driver or trucking company – to exercise a degree of care expected to minimize the risk of harm to others. When behavior falls short of what a reasonable person or entity would do under similar circumstances, negligence may be at play.
