I‑95 Crashes in Colleton County Leave 2 Dead, 26 Injured

What Happened?

On July 22, 2025, multiple crashes occurred in quick succession on southbound I‑95 near mile marker 41 in Colleton County, SC. According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the collisions involved both passenger vehicles and commercial trucks. The incidents left two people dead and 26 others injured, and the interstate remained shut down for nearly 11 hours.

Civil and Personal Injury Considerations

For those involved in major multi‑vehicle crashes, there may be multiple potential legal avenues:

  • Insurance Coverage Coordination: In chain-reaction crashes, liability may span several drivers and carriers.

  • Wrongful Death Claims: Families of the deceased may pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost support, and emotional trauma.

  • Serious Injury Claims: Injured parties can claim medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

What Crash Victims Should Do Now

  1. Obtain Crash Reports
    Request official reports from SCHP and check for commercial vehicle inspection records.
  2. Gather Medical and Insurance Documentation
    Organize all medical records, bills, and vehicle damage estimates.
  3. Act Promptly
    In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury or wrongful death claims is typically three yearsfrom the crash date.
  4. Consult a Personal Injury Attorney
    Experienced lawyers can track down liable parties, manage insurer communications, and protect your rights.

How to Improve Safety on I‑95
