What Can a Charleston Injury Attorney Add to Your Claim?

Compensation is meant to put you back where you were. That covers economic losses such as bills from MUSC or Trident Medical Center, lost wages, future care, and vehicle damage. It also covers human losses: pain, mental anguish, scarring, and the things you can no longer do. Those are often the largest part of the claim.

South Carolina applies modified comparative negligence. You recover only if your share of fault is not greater than the defense side’s, and your award drops by your percentage. Insurers push fault onto you for exactly that reason.

What Kinds of Injury Cases Does Our Charleston Office Handle?

Our Charleston attorneys handle collisions on I-26, I-526, US-17, Savannah Highway, Rivers Avenue, and the Ravenel Bridge, including car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks and pedestrians or cyclists struck on the peninsula. We also take slip and fall, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, workers compensation, dog bite, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death claims for families across Charleston County and the surrounding Lowcountry.

What Should You Expect After You Call Our Charleston Office?

A claim starts with an honest look at what happened and what it has cost you. It cannot undo the injury, but it can pay for the care and the time you lost. If we take your case, we gather the records, deal with the adjusters, file suit in the Ninth Judicial Circuit when the offer is too low, and try the case if it comes to that. You hear from us about what is happening and why, and the decision to settle stays yours. Call (843) 350-5420.

Why Should You Call a Charleston Injury Lawyer Before the Deadline?

Do not sit on this. In South Carolina most personal injury suits must be filed within three years, and a wrongful death action runs three years from the date of death. Evidence on I-526 or a store floor disappears long before that. State minimum auto liability coverage is only $25,000 per person, so tracking down every available policy takes time. We work on contingency, so you owe us nothing unless we recover for you. A free call now costs nothing and can keep a small early mistake from ending a good claim.
