      Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

      We have the knowledge and experience to handle a variety of personal injury cases. Our attorneys have successfully represented clients in the following areas:

      Car Accidents

      Car accidents are among the most common causes of personal injury. Whether you’ve been in a rear-end collision or a complex multi-car accident, we can help you seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

      Slip And Fall Injuries

      Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere—whether at a store, on a sidewalk, or even at someone’s home. If your slip and fall was caused by hazardous conditions like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

      Medical Malpractice

      If you’ve been harmed due to the negligence of a healthcare professional, you may have a case for medical malpractice. These cases can be complex, requiring expert testimony and thorough investigation to prove negligence. Our attorneys are equipped to handle these types of cases.

      Defective Products

      Injuries caused by defective products or dangerous drugs can have long-lasting consequences. If you’ve been hurt due to a faulty product, we can help you pursue the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer responsible for your injuries.

      Workplace Accidents

      If you’ve been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. However, if a third party was involved in your injury, you could also have a case for additional compensation. We are well-versed in workers’ compensation law and can help you navigate the claims process.

      Dog Bites

      Dog bites can cause serious physical and emotional harm. If you’ve been bitten or attacked by a dog, the dog owner may be held liable for your injuries. Our team will help you explore all your options for compensation.

      Nursing Home Abuse

      Elderly abuse is a heartbreaking issue that often goes unnoticed. If a loved one has suffered abuse or neglect in a nursing home, our attorneys will fight to protect their rights and secure justice for their suffering.

      Premises Liability Claims

      Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe premises for visitors. If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions, such as poor maintenance or lack of security, you may be entitled to compensation through a premises liability claim.

      Other Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

      In addition to the above, we also handle cases involving:

      • Boating accidents
      • Pedestrian accidents
      • Motorcycle accidents
      • Construction accidents
      • Brain injuries from falls or falling objects
      • Burn injuries due to fires or explosions

      Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

      The process typically involves seeking medical attention, gathering evidence, filing a claim with the insurance company, and negotiating for a fair settlement. If a settlement cannot be reached, we may proceed with litigation.

      In South Carolina, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, it’s important to act quickly to preserve your evidence and build a strong case.

      South Carolina follows a comparative negligence rule. This means that if you are partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you may still be entitled to damages.

      If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a personal injury case. It’s best to consult with an attorney to review the details of your situation and assess whether you have a valid claim.

      The amount of compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and other factors. We work hard to get you the maximum compensation possible based on your unique situation.

      How We Can Help You After an Injury?

      Injuries can affect every aspect of your life—physically, emotionally, and financially. After an injury, it’s important to take the right steps to protect your future. Our legal team will:

      Investigate Your Accident: We will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your injury to identify all responsible parties. We gather crucial evidence, such as witness statements, medical records, and accident reports, to build a strong case.
