As a Moncks Corner auto accident attorney, I have witnessed first-hand the sorrow and pain of those left behind after an unexpected death. My heartfelt condolences go out to the pedestrian’s family, friends and loved ones. Being a Moncks Corner personal injury lawyer, I know how important it is for grieving people to have a strong support network. I hope the man’s loved ones are getting the care and support they need during this difficult time.
I am moved to encourage motorists who have been involved in an accident to stay at the scene until authorities arrive, regardless of the circumstances.
