Our Lawyers Handle a Plethora of Personal Injury Cases

Our firm can help you if you were involved in one of the following accidents in Florence:

• Car accidents
• Dog bites
• Motorcycle accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Moped accidents
• Dangerous drugs
• Defective products
• Truck accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace accidents
• Nursing home abuse
• Premises liability
• Wrongful death

What most of these cases have in common is negligence. For you to be eligible for compensation, we must prove that this component exists in your case by showing:

• A duty of care: The other party was legally obligated to keep you safe.
• A breach of duty: The other party failed to meet this obligation (e.g., a trucker drove while fatigued on I-95, a physician misdiagnosed you at McLeod Regional Medical Center, a store manager at Magnolia Mall didn’t clean up a spill, etc.).
• Causation: An accident transpired and caused your injuries (e.g., a rear-end collision, a worsened condition, a slip and fall, etc.).
• Damages: You are now dealing with financial and non-financial damages.

For product liability cases, we would just need to show that the product in question was defective and that this defect caused your injuries.

One of the most common questions we get from prospective clients is, “How much is my case worth?” This question is impossible to answer at first glance, so we will need to go through the facts of your case and look at how the accident has affected you and your family.

We will consider:

• The type of accident
• Where the accident happened
• Who was responsible
• Your diagnosis and prognosis
• Your mental and physical well-being
• Your financial state
• Your capacity to work

After assessing these aspects, we might conclude that you can seek these damages:

• Past and anticipated medical bills
• Past wage losses
• Future loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Mental anguish
• Disability
