Ridgeland, SC - Collision at I-95 & Bees Creek Rd Causes Injuries

In South Carolina, there were 10,053 collisions that included distracted driving in some way in 2017. A total of 2,370 persons lost their lives in distracted driving collisions that year, and drunk driving claimed the lives of nine people. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration claims that South Carolina has some of the nation’s most negligent drivers.

Even the most cautious drivers can sustain injuries in serious auto accidents. Across South Carolina, driver negligence is the main cause of auto accidents. It is illegal and reckless to drive in a way that puts others at risk. When a car accident costs you money or harms you physically because of someone else’s negligence, selfishness, or even just an honest mistake, you may be due compensation. 

A personal injury settlement can pay for some of the out-of-pocket costs you incurred as a direct result of your traffic accident. A personal injury claim in South Carolina may provide coverage for medical bills, pain and suffering reimbursement, missed pay, prescription drug costs, and possibly even lost future earning potential. Insurance may partially cover your damages, but you will need legal representation if you want the full compensation to which you are legally entitled.
