Deadly Pedestrian Accidents in South Carolina
According to a 2019 study by the Governor’s Highway Safety Association, South Carolina is the sixth-most dangerous state for fatal pedestrian accidents.

Losing a loved one is a devastating experience for those left behind, leaving them feeling despondent, brokenhearted, alone, and with an unfulfillable hole. Someone should be held accountable when an unexpected death occurs as a result of their intentional, reckless, or negligent behavior. In order to correct the injustice, a case must often be presented by skilled, driven, and committed South Carolina wrongful death attorneys.
It is possible for there to be a wrongful death in virtually any kind of personal injury lawsuit. A personal injury is known as a wrongful death when the victim of an accident has died as a result of the injuries they have sustained. However, wrongful death suits are often much more difficult in many ways.
