Establishing fault in South Carolina personal injury claims

In order to collect on an injury claim, your lawyer must prove that the person who caused your injury was negligent — careless and neglectful.  In South Carolina, your lawyer must prove that:

  • The person or corporation responsible for your injury owed you a duty not to injure you, but didn't live up to that duty.
  • There was a connection between the other person's or company's duty to you and your injury.
  • You suffered damages.

Under South Carolina's comparative negligence law, if you were careless and your carelessness contributed to your injury, the amount you can recover may be reduced in proportion to your carelessness.  You need a knowledgeable South Carolina personal injury lawyer to determine the best course of action for the particular circumstances leading to your injuries.

Do you have a personal injury case?

There are many types of personal injury cases where victims may recover money damages from the person or organization at fault. Personal injury claims resulting from motor vehicle accidents are the ones that our attorneys see most frequently, but we can handle all types of physical and psychological injury cases including:

  • Car and truck accidents
  • Construction site injuries
  • Dog bites/animal attacks
  • Infliction of emotional distress
  • Slip and fall
  • Uninsured motorist
  • Wrongful death


Lack of immediate action can cause delays that contribute to the loss of evidence supporting your claim.  Contact us promptly and we will make every effort to preserve records, accident logs and reports, and ensure that the legal authorities who are called in and the representatives of the offending party adhere to the procedures of disclosure.
