Wrongful Death Laws in SC

According to S.C. Code § 15-51-10 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, a wrongful death is one caused by the negligence or wrongful acts of another person.

Accordingly, some of the most common causes of wrongful death include:

• Automobile accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Work Accidents
• Criminal activity
• Faulty products

Individuals Legally Eligible to File a Lawsuit

South Carolina state law indicates that only the decedent’s executor or administrator can file a wrongful death claim on the decedent’s behalf. Typically, this individual’s identity is found on the decedent’s estate plan. The court may appoint an administrator if there is none listed.

If you are a relative of the decedent, but not the legal executor, you may not file a lawsuit. However, the executor can file a lawsuit and seek compensation on your behalf.

Parties Eligible to Recover Damages

The executor may file a lawsuit on behalf of the decedent but will not receive compensation for doing so.

Alternatively, the surviving family members who can receive compensation include:

• The spouse and children of the decedent
• The living parents of the decedent, if there is no spouse or surviving children
• The decedent’s heir
