If you’ve been injured in an accident:

• Seek medical attention immediately. Your health and safety should always come first.

• Document the scene. Take photos or videos, gather witness information, and write down details of the incident.

• Report the accident. Notify the appropriate parties, such as property owners, employers, or the police.

• Contact a personal injury lawyer. Before speaking with insurance companies, consult an attorney to protect your rights.

In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury. However, certain circumstances may shorten or extend this timeframe. Contact us promptly to ensure your claim is filed on time.

The value of your case depends on factors such as:

• The severity of your injuries

• Medical expenses (past and future)

• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Property damage (if applicable)

We evaluate each case individually to determine the full extent of your damages and fight for maximum compensation.

While it’s not legally required, having an experienced personal injury attorney can significantly improve your chances of recovering fair compensation. We handle the legal complexities, negotiate with insurance companies, and, if necessary, take your case to court so you can focus on recovery.

South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case varies depending on factors like the complexity of the case, the extent of your injuries, and whether a settlement or trial is necessary. While some cases are resolved in a few months, others may take longer. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Our fees are a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. If we don’t win, you don’t pay—simple as that.

You may be eligible to recover compensation for:

• Economic damages: Medical bills, lost wages, and property damage

• Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life

• Punitive damages: In rare cases, to punish particularly egregious behavior
