Why Choose Roden Law for a Grand Strand Burn Injury Claim
Serious burn cases are expensive to prove and expensive to treat, and insurers routinely dispute how a fire or explosion started and push to settle before the full cost of future skin-graft revisions and scar-management care is known. What separates Roden Law is the investigation and expert work needed to trace the cause and document lifetime needs. Grand Strand cases are handled through the Horry County court in Conway, and we also serve clients in neighboring Georgetown County.
- No fee unless we win — free consultation and no out-of-pocket cost to pursue your claim.
- We trace the cause — defective products, unsafe premises, and workplace hazards each point to a different responsible party and a different insurance policy.
- Full lifetime value — disfigurement, future surgeries, and long-term care often drive the value of a burn case, and we account for all of it before any settlement.
Common Causes of Burn Injuries on the Grand Strand
The Grand Strand’s hospitality economy drives a distinct pattern of burn risk — restaurant and hotel kitchen grease fires and scalds, pool-chemical and hot-tub exposures, and defective appliances in rental condos and vacation properties. Beachfront fireworks, propane grills, and gas fire pits add seasonal burn hazards for tourists and residents alike. Identifying whether a burn stems from a defective product, an unsafe premises, or a workplace hazard is the first and most important step in a Grand Strand burn case.
South Carolina Burn Injury Law You Should Know
Many burn cases sound in product liability — South Carolina recognizes strict liability for defective products under S.C. Code § 15-73-10, so a manufacturer can be liable for a dangerously defective product without proof of negligence. Other burn claims arise from premises liability (an unsafe condition on someone’s property, such as a hotel or rental) or, when the injury happened at work, from workers’ compensation, which in South Carolina can include a scheduled component for serious bodily disfigurement. The general deadline to file a personal-injury lawsuit is three years from the date of injury under S.C. Code § 15-3-530, South Carolina follows modified comparative negligence (you can recover as long as you are 50% or less at fault), and there is no cap on compensatory damages in ordinary injury cases.
