Understanding Personal Injury Claims

Filing a personal injury claim can be a complex process, but our team is here to simplify it for you. We ensure that all necessary evidence, including police reports, medical records, and witness statements, is collected to build a solid case. It’s important to act quickly, as South Carolina law has time limits on when claims can be filed.

Our firm ensures that you meet all filing deadlines and that we handle the legal intricacies, allowing you to focus on your recovery while we fight for your right to compensation.

How We Help You Seek Compensation

When you’re injured, seeking compensation shouldn’t be a battle you fight alone. Our legal team works directly with insurance companies to negotiate a fair settlement that covers your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

We take a comprehensive approach to calculating your compensation, ensuring that both economic and non-economic damages—such as pain and suffering—are included. If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we’re ready to pursue legal action to ensure you receive the full amount you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

If your injury was caused by another party’s negligence, you may have a valid claim. We’ll evaluate the specifics of your case to determine the best legal approach.

What compensation can I receive?

Compensation can include lost wages, medical expenses, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for filing a claim is typically three years from the date of the accident.

What if I’m partially at fault for the accident?

South Carolina follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still seek compensation even if you’re partially at fault, but your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
