South Carolina Personal Injury Law

Under South Carolina law, injured parties have a limited time to file a personal injury claim. In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is 3 years from the date of injury (S.C. Code § 15-3-530). South Carolina follows a modified comparative fault rule — you can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault.

What to Do After A golf cart accident in Myrtle Beach, SC

  1. Ensure safety and call 911. Move to a safe location if possible. Call emergency services to report the accident and request medical attention for anyone injured.
  2. Seek immediate medical attention. Even if injuries seem minor, get examined by a doctor. Some injuries — such as traumatic brain injuries or internal bleeding — may not show symptoms immediately.
  3. Document the scene. Take photos of all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, traffic signs, and any visible damage. Collect names and contact information from witnesses.
  4. Exchange information with all parties. Get the other driver's name, insurance information, license plate number, and driver's license number. Do not admit fault or apologize.
  5. Report the accident to police. South Carolina law requires accident reports when there are injuries or significant property damage. Request a copy of the police report.
  6. Notify your insurance company. Report the accident to your insurer promptly. Provide factual information only — do not speculate about fault or the extent of your injuries.
  7. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney. An attorney can protect your rights, handle communications with insurance companies, and help you pursue the full compensation you deserve. Roden Law offers free consultations — call today.

Filing a Personal Injury Case in Myrtle Beach

Filing a personal injury case in the Myrtle Beach market means filing in Horry County Court of Common Pleas at 1301 Second Avenue in Conway, where civil complaints are submitted through South Carolina’s mandatory Tyler Odyssey e-filing system and most cases are routed to mediation before trial under SC ADR Rule 3.

The Grand Strand draws roughly 17–20 million visitors a year, and that seasonal surge reshapes the local crash picture: US-17 Business and Ocean Boulevard see heavy pedestrian and golf-cart traffic, while drivers choose between the slower, congested US-501 and the faster but higher-severity SC-22 Conway Bypass to reach the beach. Golf carts add a wrinkle unique to coastal SC — under S.C. Code § 56-2-100, a permitted cart may only operate in daylight, within four miles of the owner’s address, on roads posted 35 mph or less, by a licensed driver. Crashes outside those limits open the door to negligence-per-se and rental-property claims. Severe-injury victims are routed to Grand Strand Medical Center in Myrtle Beach or stabilized at Tidelands Waccamaw in Murrells Inlet.

South Carolina applies a three-year statute of limitations under S.C. Code § 15-3-530, a 51% modified-comparative-fault bar, and allows stacking of UM/UIM coverage — often the largest recovery source when an out-of-state tourist is hit by a minimum-limits driver.

Do I Have a Golf cart accident Case in Myrtle Beach?

Georgia regulates “personal transportation vehicles” (PTVs) under O.C.G.A. § 40-6-330 to -334 — golf carts may operate on roads with speed limits ≤35 mph in jurisdictions that have authorized them by ordinance. South Carolina treats golf carts as “permitted vehicles” under S.C. Code § 56-2-100 to -130, allowing on-road use within four miles of registered address, during daylight only, on roads ≤35 mph, by a licensed driver. A cart driven outside these limits is operating illegally in South Carolina, which can support a negligence-per-se argument against the operator. Defendants commonly include the operator, the cart owner, the host community/HOA, the resort, and the manufacturer. Filing deadline: 3 years under S.C. Code § 15-3-530.

Types of Compensation in South Carolina Golf cart accident Cases

Common golf-cart injuries are ejection-related — TBI from falls, fractures from rollovers — because golf carts lack seatbelts, doors, and meaningful crash protection. Insurance coverage is a frequent gap: standard auto policies often exclude golf carts, while homeowners’ policies cover golf-cart use only in limited circumstances (typically on the insured’s premises or on a golf course). South Carolina requires liability insurance on a permitted golf cart, but compliance is uneven. Plaintiffs frequently rely on host-resort, HOA, or short-term-rental property general-liability policies, especially in Grand Strand and beach-community cases involving rented carts provided to guests.
