South Carolina Attorneys and Lawyers
Every year in South Carolina, there are more than 70,000 civil cases and 600,000 traffic cases.
To win a personal injury case in South Carolina, victims must prove that the person responsible for injuries or damages owed you a duty and that he/she failed to carry out that duty in a reasonable and appropriate manner. Victims must also prove that the defendant’s failure to carry out that duty resulted in injuries or damages. South Carolina also has a “comparative negligence law,” which means if you were partly at fault, you can’t receive 100 percent compensation. Personal injury lawyers in South Carolina are experts at proving negligence and making sure you get the compensation you are entitled to, including medical expenses, lost wages, and property damages.
South Carolina’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is three years, which is a very short time period to prepare a claim. If that three year mark expires, personal injury victims cannot file claims. Most personal injury attorneys suggest you file as soon as possible, and with their help, you can recover damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damages.
