Clemson’s accident patterns aren’t identical to larger metros. Common scenarios we see around SC-93, US-76, and local spillover traffic during campus events include:
- Blunt-force crashes (rear-end collisions and intersection impacts) where CT scans or follow-up visits later reveal internal trauma.
- Trip-and-fall incidents near busy pedestrian areas—crosswalks, construction-adjacent sidewalks, and high-foot-traffic routes during events.
- Sports and recreational impacts (including training injuries) that can cause internal bleeding, organ strain, or delayed abdominal symptoms.
- Night and weekend driving during higher congestion periods, when reaction time and visibility are compromised.
These situations matter legally because insurance companies often argue the symptoms are unrelated—or that the delay between impact and medical evaluation breaks the connection.
