WHAT WE DO
WE HANDLE ALL TYPES OF CAR CRASH CASESOur lawyers have decades of combined experience helping victims and families recover compensation in all types of auto accidents, including wrecks involving:
Distracted driving is a leading cause of car accidents in South Carolina. With the rise of cell phone usage and texting while driving, problems may continue to worsen. Eating, grooming, GPS devices, and voice-activated command systems could be other sources of distraction that lead to accidents.
Careless driving is another major contributor to wrecks. Negligence can include speeding, driving aggressively or unsafely for current road and weather conditions, failing to yield the right-of- way, failing to obey traffic signals, and failing to signal before changing lanes.
Driving Under the Influence (“DUI”) means operating a vehicle while intoxicated or impaired by alcohol or drugs. Sadly, impaired driving accidents lead to the senseless deaths of more than 300 South Carolinians each year.

South Carolina Car Accident Lawyer FAQs
Following a car accident in South Carolina, you likely have many questions. Here are a few frequently asked questions we get from accident victims to help you decide if getting a personal injury attorney is right for you and what you stand to win from your car crash personal injury claim.
When Should You Call a Car Accident Lawyer After a Crash?
Not every car accident will require working with personal injury lawyers. But the more complex or severe an auto accident is, the more likely you will want to have an experienced attorney fighting to protect your rights and pursue the maximum compensation you are entitled to by law. You'll especially want to call a lawyer ASAP if the crash involves:
- Severe injuries
- Death
- Unclear fault
- Confusion over liability
- Property damage
- Drunk driving
- Uninsured motorists
- School zones
- Construction zones
- Distracted driving
First and foremost, call 911 if there are any severe injuries. For minor car accidents, call the non-emergency police line and wait for a law enforcement officer to arrive at the accident scene to fill out an accident report. Ask the officer how you can obtain the police reports later.
Gather any evidence you can at the scene, including photos and videos of the vehicle damage, any other property damage, the roadway, any skid marks, and any witness statements. This information can help when you take the next eventual step of calling an auto accident attorney about your accident claim.
If you think you need to speak to a South Carolina car accident attorney after an accident, you'll want to do so as soon as possible. You don't have all the time in the world to file an insurance claim, but having a lawyer on your side to deal with the insurance adjusters will ensure the process goes smoothly.
A car accident lawyer will need time to build your case, which can include the time-consuming processes of:
- Evaluating your case
- Investigating the crash
- Calculating your recoverable damages
- Communicating and negotiating with insurance companies
- Filing a lawsuit if necessary to collect fair compensation for you
How Is Pain and Suffering Calculated in a Car Accident in South Carolina?
Insurance companies and South Carolina courts slightly differ on how they calculate insurance coverage for pain and suffering after a car accident. But most claims settle with the insurance company before reaching court. Auto insurance companies use a formulaic approach. Typically, you'll arrive at a value for pain and suffering through either the multiplier method or the per diem method.
In the multiplier method, economic damages such as medical expenses and lost wages are totaled and multiplied by a number between 1.5 and 5, depending on the severity of your injuries. In the per diem method, victims receive financial compensation based on a rate “per day” that's applied to each day they experience pain and suffering.
Should your accident injury case go to court, there may be a more complex method used to determine the value of your pain and suffering. Judges and juries in accident lawsuits will weigh unique factors, such as:
- The extent of the victim's physical injuries and medical care needs
- The duration of the victim's recovery
- The victim's age and health condition prior to the collision
- The everyday limitations the victim experiences due to the motor vehicle accident
- Any impact on the victim's quality of life, ability to spend time with family, friends, and loss of enjoyment of activities they enjoyed before the crash
Before you pursue legal action for pain and suffering after an auto wreck, you need to prove that you've suffered mentally and emotionally. Thorough medical documents and expert witnesses can help to quantify your immediate physical trauma, emotional distress, as well as any long-term effects.
Keeping a daily log that highlights how the motor vehicle collision has affected your life can also demonstrate proof of pain and suffering.
IS THE ROAD CLOSED? A FEW WAYS TO CHECK.
Roads and highway lanes are frequently closed for construction or to clear car accidents. If you’d like to find out which roads are closed near Charleston, here are two resources to check:
- 1. The South Carolina Department of Transportation website https://www.scdot.org/travel/travel-road.aspx
- 2. Road Closures are listed here on The City of Charleston’s Geographic Information System https://gis.charleston-sc.gov/road-closures/
Knowing which roads are closed can help you avoid traffic jams and plan your route for the day. Knowing about road construction or sudden traffic stoppages may help you reduce chances of a car wreck as you drive past them. Safe travels!
