The moment a claim is filed, insurance adjusters start building a case to limit what they pay you. Having an attorney in your corner ensures you don't say or sign anything that hurts your claim.
Whiplash, concussions, and internal injuries aren't always obvious at the scene. We work with medical experts to document the full extent of your injuries — and fight for compensation that reflects your real recovery.
Liability can be disputed, shared, or complicated by police reports, witness accounts, and road conditions. We investigate every detail to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
Insurance companies move fast — because early settlements save them money, not you. We make sure any offer truly accounts for your medical costs, lost income, and long-term impact before anything is signed.
First, make sure everyone is safe and call 911 if there are any injuries. Get a copy of the police report, exchange insurance information with the other driver, and document the scene with photos if you’re able. Seek medical attention right away — even if you feel fine — as some injuries don’t show symptoms immediately. Then contact an attorney before speaking with any insurance adjuster.
In South Carolina, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. While that may sound like plenty of time, evidence fades and witnesses become harder to reach the longer you wait. It’s always best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your claim.
South Carolina follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. However, your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often try to shift blame to reduce what they owe you — having an attorney on your side helps make sure fault is determined fairly.
