Adjusters are trained to turn your own words into a smaller payout. When an attorney handles every conversation from the start, your claim stays protected.
The injuries you feel at the scene are rarely the whole story — whiplash, concussions, and internal damage surface later. We document everything with medical experts before you settle.
Proving fault takes evidence that disappears fast: skid marks, camera footage, witness memories. We move quickly to secure it all and build the case that holds the at-fault driver accountable.
The first offer is designed to close your file, not fund your recovery. We measure it against your medical bills, missed income, and future treatment — and fight for the difference.
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.
