Charleston Car Wreck Lawyer

South Carolina is one of the many US states that follow the popular, plaintiff-friendly at-fault system regarding car accidents. What that means is that if you get injured in a car accident, or in the unfortunate event that you lose a loved one in the accident, the party at fault will bear the burden of compensating you for your injuries and losses. While these laws usually favor the injured, ensuring that they receive maximum compensation, they also prompt insurance companies to fight back even harder against these claims. That's one of the reasons you need a car wreck lawyer in Charleston. If you have a valid case, they may be able to fight for your deserved compensation. Ready to get started with your claim?

FAQ

Morgan & Morgan

    Do I Need a Car Wreck Lawyer?

    You'll definitely need a car wreck lawyer if you've been involved in a car accident and suffered severe injuries. The same applies if you already filed a claim with the insurance company, but they seem to be acting out of bad faith by denying or delaying the compensation you deserve.

    How Will the Car Wreck Lawyer in Charleston Help Prove My Case?

    Once we've determined that you have legal grounds to take action, we'll assign a car wreck lawyer to build a strong case on your behalf. The attorney will investigate the specifics of the accident to establish the facts, gather evidence to determine liability, assess the extent of your damages, and file a claim with whoever may be responsible for your injuries and losses. We'll also negotiate with the other party on your behalf or file a lawsuit if they refuse to cooperate.

    What Happens if I Decide To Negotiate With the Insurance Company Without a Car Wreck Lawyer?

    You can do that, but it's risky. Knowing how final a car accident settlement can be, negotiating with the insurance company without a lawyer puts your claim at risk. That's because insurance companies will always protect their interests, and you need someone who'll protect yours as well. That's what our car wreck lawyers do. They ensure that whatever compensation you receive reflects the true extent of your injuries and losses.

    What Damages Can a Car Wreck Lawyer Help Me Recover?

    Medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, the loss of enjoyment of life, and future medical expenses are some of the damages a skilled attorney may be able to help you recover. Bear in mind that each case is unique, so the damages you may be entitled to will depend on the specifics of your case.

    Is There a Deadline for Hiring a Lawyer After a Car Wreck?

    You should hire a lawyer as soon as possible if you've suffered serious injuries or lost a loved one in a car accident. In Charleston and throughout South Carolina, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. If you contact them early enough, your attorney will ensure you don't miss this deadline because that could mean losing your right to sue.
