What to Expect After a Vehicle Accident

South Carolina is a “comparative negligence” state, meaning that you must prove that another individual was 50% or more at fault for your collision in order to recover money for your injuries. If the other driver caused your car crash, expect to hear from his or her insurance company soon after the accident.

The insurance company may make you an offer to settle your claim, but you should not sign any documents without discussing your case with a lawyer first. If you sign the settlement document, you generally cannot back out of the agreement except in special circumstances.

Call a car accident lawyer at George Sink, P.A. Injury Lawyers for help. If the insurance company’s offer is too low, your lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company to make sure you get a settlement that compensates you fairly for your injuries.
