What to Do After an Accident in South Carolina
Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Your health is the top priority. Even if you don't feel injured right away, some injuries may not be apparent until hours or days later.
Report the Accident to Authorities
If you were involved in a car accident, call the police. If you were injured on someone's property, notify the property owner or manager.
Gather Evidence and Document Everything
Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Collect witness contact information and keep a detailed record of your medical treatment.
Avoid Speaking with Insurance Companies Without Legal Guidance
Insurance adjusters may try to minimize your claim or get you to accept a low settlement. Do not provide statements or sign anything without consulting a lawyer.
Contact a South Carolina Personal Injury Lawyer ASAP
The sooner you contact an attorney, the better your chances of securing fair compensation. We can handle the legal complexities while you focus on healing.
How Much Is Your Personal Injury Case Worth?
Medical Bills and Ongoing Treatment Costs
Your compensation should cover all medical expenses, including hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical care.
Lost Wages and Future Earnings
If your injury has caused you to miss work or resulted in long-term disability, we will fight for compensation to cover your lost income and diminished earning potential.
Pain and Suffering Damages
Beyond financial losses, you deserve compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
Punitive Damages in Certain Cases
In cases of extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the responsible party and deter similar behavior.
How We Maximize the Value of Your Claim
We thoroughly investigate every case, gather strong evidence, and work with medical and financial experts to build a compelling case for maximum compensation.
The Personal Injury Claim Process in South Carolina
Free Consultation and Case Evaluation
We begin by assessing your case, answering your questions, and explaining your legal options. This initial consultation helps us understand the specifics of your situation and determine the best legal strategy for your case. Our goal is to provide you with clarity and confidence as you take the next steps.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies
