Why Choose Roden Law for a North Charleston Burn Injury Claim
North Charleston is the industrial engine of the Lowcountry — home to the Boeing 787 campus, the Port of Charleston’s container terminals, and a dense corridor of manufacturing and warehousing. That concentration of industrial activity means burn injuries here often involve workplace explosions, chemical exposure, electrical contact, and defective equipment. Serious burn cases are expensive to prove and expensive to treat, and insurers routinely dispute cause and push to settle before the full cost of future care is known. What separates Roden Law is the investigation and expert work needed to trace the cause and document lifetime needs.
- 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.
Industrial and Workplace Burn Risks in North Charleston
The Boeing campus, the port’s container and cargo operations, and the area’s chemical, aerospace, and manufacturing plants create burn hazards from high-voltage electrical systems, flammable materials, pressurized equipment, and hot processes. A work-related burn is generally covered by South Carolina workers’ compensation, but when a defective machine, a subcontractor, or another third party (not your employer) caused the burn, there may also be a separate injury claim that can pursue the full cost of disfigurement and future care.
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 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.
