Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does a personal injury lawyer do?

A personal injury lawyer is someone who helps people after serious accidents. If you or a member of your family has been seriously injured, a South Carolina personal injury attorney can assess your legal rights and seek just compensation on your behalf, if warranted. While not all accidents give rise to personal injury claims, many do, and you owe it to yourself to schedule a free consultation.

What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in South Carolina?

The statute of limitations for a personal injury claim establishes a firm deadline for filing a lawsuit in court. In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident in most cases. This means that if you wait three years and a day, you could lose the right to recover the financial compensation you deserve.

How long does a personal injury case take?

The short answer is, “It depends.” Some personal injury cases can take a year or longer. If you need to take your case to trial, you can expect it to take a while. But, most successful personal injury claims settle—and many settle long before a trial date even gets scheduled. If there is clear evidence of liability and you work closely with your attorney to clearly document your injuries’ financial and non-financial costs, your case could be over in a matter of months.

What damages can I recover through a personal injury claim?

In South Carolina, accident victims can recover damages for all of the financial and non-financial losses they incur as a result of their injuries. This includes everything from medical bills and lost income to emotional trauma and loss of enjoyment of life. The amount you are entitled to recover is unique to you, and you will need to work with an experienced South Carolina personal injury lawyer to determine how much to seek in your claim.
