South Carolina’s Traffic Accident Statistics

Every driver has a moral obligation to protect the lives of their passengers and other road users. Accidents caused by carelessness, recklessness, or intoxication can result in criminal charges and financial repercussions for those responsible. Roughly 13,000 people every year lose their lives because of reckless drivers.

A personal injury attorney should be consulted because the circumstances surrounding each accident are different. There are a lot of instances in which having legal representation could prove useful, such as determining how much money to seek in damages, gathering evidence, and identifying prospective culprits. For the sake of your health and peace of mind following a car accident, it may be good to have someone guide you through the legal process involved.

Proving that the other driver’s negligence caused the accident is the first stage in suing for compensation following a car crash. A claim for damages will be accepted only if it can be proven that someone else or something else was manifestly to blame for the incident. That’s the case whether a single automobile was involved in an accident because of a faulty part, two cars collided because of another driver, or a major hazard on the road occurred because of a lack of warning from the government.
