• Collecting evidence that can support your claims about the accident, your injuries, and damages
• Consulting with expert witnesses who can provide testimony for your case, such as medical professionals or accident reconstruction analysts

• Handling communications from the opposing party, their insurer, or their legal team

Behind the work of your personal injury lawyer will be our team so that your case gets the attention it deserves. We aim to be forthcoming with our legal guidance and advice, and we can make ourselves available whenever you have questions about the legal process.

Your Lawyer Can Represent You Throughout Your Case

As for what your lawyer can do, they can serve as your representative as they pursue compensation on your behalf. This may involve:

• Meeting with the opposing party and their team to discuss a potential settlement deal
• Reviewing offers and other information provided by the opposing party
• Advising you on whether you should file a personal injury lawsuit to pursue compensation if negotiating a settlement is not viable
• Presenting your case in trial and advocating for your interests

Also, be aware that while our legal team will provide you legal advice throughout your case, ultimately, any decision made must be yours. We put your interests first and aim to serve you.

Keep in Mind that Personal Injury Cases Have a Legal Deadline to Follow

South Carolina’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases, which is written in S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530, gives a general three-year window period for plaintiffs to file their case. This window period starts from the date of the accident, with some exceptions depending on certain factors.

For example, if you name a municipality as a liable party, then you have two years from the date of the accident to file, according to S.C. Ann. § 15-78-110. 

Missing the Statutory Deadline Could Jeopardize Your Case

In plain language, if you miss your case’s filing deadline, it could bar you from pursuing compensation through a lawsuit. If this occurs:

• You may lose leverage against the insurance company if you try to negotiate a settlement, as you would be disqualified to pursue a lawsuit.
• Losing your opportunity to pursue compensation means you have to pay for your current and future damages yourself.
• The negligent party would be absolved of any liability for your damages.

Rather than risk losing your right to fight for your financial recovery, allow our team to manage your case and keep track of its filing deadline. We can arrange materials and resources to file your case on time and keep you updated as it navigates the litigation system in South Carolina.
