You May Be Able to Recover Damages in Your Personal Injury Case

People seeking legal action to recover from a personal injury usually want to know how much their case is worth and how much they can expect to receive for their injuries. Each case should be evaluated on an individual basis because no two cases are the same. Anastopoulo Law Firm’s legal team helps our clients assess the value of their claim or lawsuit. We look at various factors of your situation. For example:

• The severity of the injuries you suffered
• The duration of your physical and mental pain and suffering
• How long it will take you to recover from your accident
• Other damages you sustained, such as to your property
• The at-fault or liable party’s insurance coverage, if available
• If you played a role in your accident, and if so, to what degree

We Review Your Economic Damages

We will look at any damages that cost you money. These are known as economic damages and can include any of the following:

• Expenses for your medical treatment (past and future)
• Lost pay and job benefits 
• Reduced earning capacity if your injuries keep you from returning to work or force you to find another kind of job
• Property damage (such as a damaged vehicle)

However, you must have receipts, invoices, statements, medical records, or other written documents to prove the dollar amount of these damages.

We Also will Review Your Non-Economic Damages

You may also have damages that don’t have a monetary value, making it more challenging to determine a dollar amount for them. Our legal team can help with that task so that you evaluate your losses for these damages, too. These damages, which are known as non-economic damages, include:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Mental anguish
• Disability or disfigurement
• Loss of companionship
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Our personal injury lawyer serving Greenville will look at damages in both categories and determine how much your case is worth. We can look for other types of damages that you could claim, as well. Furthermore, it is important you know how much your case is worth. This helps you prepare for your case and helps you when reviewing any potential settlement offers from insurers, which are typically too low. Our lawyer will draft a demand letter outlining your claims and file it with the insurer of the party that caused your accident.

Wrongful Death Damages

Some personal injury cases, unfortunately, mean a loss of life. You may be able to file a wrongful death action on behalf of your loved one if they died due to negligence, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse or neglect, or someone’s intentional act. If you qualify to do so under South Carolina law to file this action, and if it is successful, certain surviving family members can recover damages for:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Expenses for the decedent’s medical treatment
• Loss of the decedent’s companionship and protection
• The pain and suffering of the surviving family members

Our personal injury lawyer can help you pursue a wrongful death action and advise you as you determine your next steps.

We Will Come to You to Talk About Your Accident

Our responsive personal injury attorney will meet you wherever you are to talk with you about pursuing your case, whether that is at your home or the hospital. Additionally, we can visit you in either of these places to discuss your case. We understand that your primary focus will be on healing from your injuries. 

Pursuing legal action may feel like another thing to worry about. We understand that recovering from an injury takes time and rest. We can restore both to you if we take this responsibility off your hands and fight your legal battles for you. This will allow you to focus on taking care of yourself. We invite you to learn more about your legal options and how we can help during a free, no-obligation consultation.

South Carolina Law Limits the Time You Have to Pursue Your Case

If you are thinking about taking legal action in your case, we encourage you to start as soon as you can. Taking legal action for a personal injury requires clear decision-making, but you have a limited time to take that next step. Per S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530, you have three years to take legal action in a personal injury case and a wrongful death case. If you do not file your lawsuit in that time, you risk losing your right to seek compensation for your injuries and losses. You can learn more about the timeline that applies to your case. Our personal injury lawyer can review the timeline with you. We will monitor your case and ensure you don’t miss any deadlines.

We will Set Out to Prove the Other Party’s Negligence and Liability 

A significant task we take on when managing a client’s case is proving that someone else is responsible for our client’s injuries and losses. Without this essential component, we don’t have grounds for a personal injury case. As we go about building a client’s case for financial recovery, we must first prove that someone owes them money. We must establish four points. The liable party must have:

• Owed our client a duty of care to act responsibly, keep them safe, or keep harm away from them
• Fell short of meeting this duty because they were acting carelessly or recklessly
• Caused our client to suffer an injury or loss due to a failure to act responsibly
• Caused our client to suffer compensatory damages as a result of this injury

If your situation meets all four of these conditions, we can likely pursue an injury case on your behalf. We can confirm if your situation meets these criteria. Our legal knowledge can give you insight into your case that can help you make the best decision for yourself and your family.

More Than One Party Can be Liable for Your Accident

When you meet with us during your free consultation, you may learn that more than one party may owe you compensation, depending on the facts of your situation. Personal injury cases can become more complex if more than one person can be held liable. Our lawyer can sort all liability matters out for you and make it clear who you need to take legal action against.

If you play any role in your accident and are partially liable, you should still seek legal action. South Carolina’s comparative negligence law allows accident victims to pursue financial compensation if their role in the accident is 50 percent or less responsible for their injuries, per S.C. Ann § 15-38-15.
