From day one, the other driver's insurer is looking for reasons to pay you less. An attorney in your corner from the start keeps your words and signatures from being used against you.
Crash injuries hide — whiplash, concussions, and internal damage often show up days later. We work with medical experts to document everything and demand compensation for your full recovery.
Fault on busy roads like Highway 17 gets disputed constantly. We dig into the police report, witness accounts, and physical evidence to prove exactly what happened and who's responsible.
That first settlement offer is built to close your file cheap while you're still hurting. We measure every offer against your medical costs, lost income, and long-term needs before you sign.
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.
