Difference Between Auto Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers

If you have been injured in a South Carolina car accident, on the job or by someone else’s negligence, you’ve probably been looking on the Internet for more information about the law and lawyers who could help you. You would have seen both personal injury and auto accident attorneys listed. It’s natural to wonder if there is a difference between the two. What is a personal injury lawyer? South Carolina personal injury lawyers focus on tort law and defending the rights of average people, helping them recover the money they need to pay medical bills and get through lean times after lost wages. Most of the time, personal injury lawyers work with every-day people and defend them against much bigger corporations and companies that have much deeper pockets than they do – usually insurance companies. The goal is always to make the at-fault party do the right thing and cover the injured person’s damages.

What is an auto accident attorney?

A South Carolina auto accident attorney is usually a personal injury lawyer who concentrates on helping people who were injured in car accidents. The roads are dangerous places and people are often hurt in even minor accidents. As a result, auto accident cases are some of the most common personal injury cases.

Is there a difference? If you’re looking for a qualified South Carolina auto accident attorney, don’t believe that any personal injury lawyer will suffice. You want an attorney who is experienced in handling auto accident cases. Similarly, if you were hurt on the job, you will want a personal injury lawyer who has a history of winning worker’s compensation cases. If you’re looking for a good personal injury or auto accident attorney in South Carolina, contact the experienced and knowledgeable legal team at George Sink Injury Lawyers. We offer a free consultation and promise you will leave with a better understanding of your rights and options.
