At Joseph’s Injury Lawyers, every case is a story of resilience, determination, and the pursuit of justice. One of our most compelling cases is that of Cody Lovejoy, a devoted Harley Davidson employee from Myrtle Beach whose life was forever changed by a drunk driver.

The Accident

Cody was riding his motorcycle home from work when a drunk driver collided with him, causing catastrophic injuries that led to the loss of his left leg. The driver, an 80-year-old regular at a local bar, had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .220—nearly three times the legal limit.

Our Response

When Cody’s case was referred to us, we immediately understood the gravity of the situation and the responsibility we carried to deliver justice. Our approach included:

• Recovering all available policies: We pursued compensation from the driver’s insurance, Cody’s personal coverage, and even policies held by Cody’s parents.

• Targeting negligent establishments: Beyond the driver, we initiated action against the bar in Horry County that recklessly over-served the intoxicated driver. Many attorneys avoid complex DRAM SHOP cases, but we embraced the challenge to hold all negligent parties accountable.

• Providing compassionate support: Throughout the process, we stood by Cody and his family, visiting their home in Carolina Forest and advocating for them during media coverage of the case.

The Outcome

Our relentless advocacy secured significant compensation to support Cody’s recovery, medical expenses, and future needs. As we continue to seek justice through action against the bar, Cody’s case sends a powerful message about accountability and the consequences of negligence.

Cody’s story embodies everything we stand for at Joseph’s Injury Lawyers:

• Compassion for our clients: We prioritize the needs and well-being of every client we serve.

• A refusal to back down: We take on challenging cases, including those other firms may avoid.

• Determination to achieve justice: No matter how high the stakes, we fight relentlessly to hold negligent parties accountable.
