Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Avondale, West Ashley

Q: Are pedestrian accidents common in Avondale?

Yes. Avondale's mix of high-speed Savannah Highway traffic and heavy pedestrian activity from restaurants and bars creates frequent vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. The lack of protected crosswalks along much of the commercial strip forces pedestrians into dangerous crossing situations.

Q: Can I sue a bar if an overserved patron hits me while driving through Avondale?

South Carolina's dram shop laws allow claims against establishments that serve alcohol to visibly intoxicated patrons who then cause injury. If an Avondale bar overserved the driver who hit you, both the driver and the establishment may be liable for your damages.

Q: How long do I have to file an injury claim after an Avondale accident?

Under South Carolina law (S.C. Code § 15-3-530), you generally have 3 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, evidence preservation is critical — contact an attorney as soon as possible after your accident.
