The Three Most Important Things to Know About Filing a Personal Injury Claim in Hilton Head, SC

When you have a personal injury claim (or when you think you might have a personal injury claim), you need to make sure you are making informed decisions. This is easier said than done, and this is one of several reasons why it is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible. With this in mind, here are the three most important things you need to know about filing a personal injury claim in Hilton Head:

• Accident Victims in Hilton Head Have Clear Legal Rights – As an accident victim (or as the family member of an accident victim) in Hilton Head, you have clear legal rights. These include the right to recover just compensation and the right to hire an attorney to seek just compensation on your behalf. 
• You Can Run Out of Time to Assert Your Legal Rights – While you have clear legal rights, you can run out of time to assert your legal rights if you aren’t careful. The sooner you hire an attorney, the sooner your attorney can take action to protect your claim for just compensation. 
• You Can Hire a Lawyer to Assert Your Legal Rights at No Out-of-Pocket Cost – Hiring a Hilton Head personal injury lawyer should not cost you anything out of pocket. We represent all of our clients on a contingency-fee basis, which means our clients pay nothing unless we win.

We Handle All Types of Claims on Behalf of Individuals and Families 

Within our personal injury practice, we handle cases involving all types of accidents in the Hilton Head area. This includes, but is not limited to, cases involving: 

Bicycle Accidents

If you got hit or driven off of the road by a negligent driver, you do not deserve to bear any of the costs of your accident-related injuries. Luke can quickly conduct an investigation to determine liability and then pursue all available claims on your behalf. 

Boat Accidents

Boat accidents can be extremely dangerous, especially on open water. But, in all cases, boat accident victims’ costs can start to add up quickly, and hiring an experienced Hilton Head personal injury lawyer can be essential for avoiding medical debt and recovering the costs of victims’ injuries. 

Car Accidents

It only takes one mistake or wrong decision to cause a serious car accident. If you were injured in a car accident that was someone else’s fault in Hilton Head, you are entitled to just compensation under South Carolina law. Luke can deal with the insurance companies for you, and he can help make sure you do not unknowingly accept less than you deserve. 

Drunk Driving Accidents

While drunk driving is of particular concern during spring break and summer break in Hilton Head, drunk driving accidents can—and do—happen any time of year. If you or a loved one got hit by a drunk driver, the driver’s insurance company, an establishment that served the driver, and various other parties could all potentially be responsible. 

Golf Cart Accidents

Drivers should know better than to put golf cart occupants at risk. Yet, we regularly see cases in which golf cart occupants suffer serious injuries due to car, truck, and SUV drivers’ negligence. If you have a claim after a golf cart accident in Hilton Head, Luke can use his experience to seek appropriate financial compensation on your behalf. 

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders also frequently suffer serious injuries due to car, truck, and SUV drivers’ negligence. Distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding, tailgating, and ignoring traffic signals are just some of the many mistakes that can entitle injured riders to just compensation. 

Nursing Home Abuse

Victimization of nursing home residents is something that should never happen. Yet, the statistics show that abuse and neglect in nursing homes are pervasive issues in South Carolina and nationwide. Luke is passionate about fighting for nursing home residents and their families, and he can walk you through everything you need to know in order to determine your next steps. 

Pedestrian Accidents

Whether you were walking on Pope Ave. or getting some exercise on Hilton Head’s less-traveled roads, if you got hit by a distracted or careless driver, you do not deserve to bear any of the consequences of the driver’s mistake. To make sure you have every chance to recover the full compensation you deserve, you should speak with a Hilton Head personal injury lawyer right away. 

Premises Liability

From golf courses and resorts to restaurants and marinas, slips and trips can—and do—happen just about anywhere. If you were injured in a fall or other premises-related accident in Hilton Head, the property owner or tenant may be fully responsible for your medical bills, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other injury-related losses. 

Truck Accidents

Tractor-trailers and other commercial trucks come and go from Hilton Head every day. Unfortunately, truck drivers aren’t always as careful as they should be. If you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident in Hilton Head, talking to a personal injury lawyer will be your first step on the road to recovery. 

Uber/Lyft Accidents

We are seeing more and more Uber and Lyft vehicles on Hilton Head’s roads. Unfortunately, this means that we are also seeing more and more accidents involving these vehicles. If you need to assert your legal rights after an Uber or Lyft accident in Hilton Head, Luke can help. 

Wrongful Death

Luke also represents local families in cases involving wrongful death. If you have tragically lost a loved one in a fatal accident in Hilton Head, we offer our sincere condolences, and we want you to know that we are here to help in any way we can.
