Why South Carolina Injury Victims Need Experienced Representation
South Carolina’s modified comparative negligence rule with a 51% bar means insurance companies have a powerful financial incentive to push your fault above 50%, which eliminates your recovery entirely. The state’s at-fault insurance system means the at-fault driver’s liability coverage pays for injuries and damages, but South Carolina’s minimum insurance requirements are among the lowest in the nation. Uninsured and underinsured motorists remain a significant problem, making UM/UIM coverage critical. South Carolina’s three-year statute of limitations provides more time than some neighboring states, but evidence preservation and early legal action remain essential.
Practice Areas We Handle in South Carolina
Car Accidents — South Carolina’s congested interstates and high-growth corridors contribute to thousands of crashes every year. Greenville County leads the state in total crash volume.
Truck Accidents — Major freight corridors including I-85 run through the Upstate, and the Inland Port Greer and BMW plant generate significant commercial truck traffic.
Slip and Fall — Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe premises for visitors and customers.
Wrongful Death — When negligence takes a life, families deserve justice and financial security.
Motorcycle Accidents — South Carolina’s scenic mountain roads and warm climate attract riders year-round, but heavy traffic and high speeds create serious risks.
