Helping Crash Victims Get Fair Compensation
Car accident cases we handle every day.
No two crashes are the same. Whether minor or major, we handle a wide range of car accident claims, including:
Rear-End Collisions
Even “small” rear-end crashes can cause serious back, neck, and spine injuries. We fight to make sure your injuries are taken seriously.
T-Bone and Side-Impact Collisions
Intersection accidents can be devastating. We work to prove fault and hold careless drivers accountable.
Head-On Collisions
These accidents often cause life-changing injuries. We help clients recover full damages for serious, catastrophic injuries.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents
When more than one driver is involved, determining liability can get complicated. We untangle the facts and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
Even if the other driver fled, you may still have options for recovery through your uninsured motorist coverage. We guide you through the process.
Know Your Rights After a Car Accident
Protect your claim and your recovery.
South Carolina law protects crash victims—but acting quickly matters. Here’s what you need to know:
You have three years to file a lawsuit
South Carolina’s statute of limitations generally gives you three years from the date of the accident to bring a personal injury lawsuit.
Insurance companies aren’t on your side
They may pressure you to settle fast—and for less than you deserve. Always speak to a lawyer before accepting an offer.
You may have hidden injuries
Symptoms from whiplash, spinal injuries, or concussions can take days to appear. Always get medical care right away, even if you feel “fine” at first.
Car Accident FAQs in South Carolina
What you need to know after a crash.
Car accidents can leave you with a lot of questions. Here are some common answers to help you move forward:
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
First, make sure everyone is safe and call 911. Seek medical attention, even if you feel okay. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with the other driver, and avoid admitting fault at the scene.
Do I have to report the accident to my insurance company?
Yes. Even if the accident wasn’t your fault, most insurance policies require you to report any accident promptly. Failing to do so could jeopardize your coverage.
What if the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance?
If the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still recover damages through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, which is required in South Carolina.
How is fault determined in South Carolina car accidents?
South Carolina uses a “modified comparative negligence” rule. You can recover damages as long as you were less than 51% at fault—but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How long does a car accident settlement usually take?
It depends on the complexity of the case, your medical recovery, and whether negotiations are successful. Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take a year or longer, especially if they go to trial.
