In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 3 years from the date of the injury under S.C. Code § 15-3-530. Workers' compensation claims require reporting within 90 days and filing within 2 years under S.C. Code § 42-15-20. Medical malpractice claims follow a discovery rule with a 6-year statute of repose and require a pre-suit Notice of Intent. These deadlines are strictly enforced by Richland County Circuit Court and other courts in the Midlands. Contact our Columbia office at (803) 219-2816 to make sure your claim is timely filed.

South Carolina uses modified comparative negligence, which means you can recover compensation as long as your fault is less than 51%. Your award is reduced by your share of responsibility. For instance, if a jury finds you 15% at fault and awards $200,000 in damages, you would receive $170,000. But if you are 51% or more at fault, you are completely barred from any recovery. Insurance companies commonly try to exaggerate your responsibility to minimize their payout. Our Columbia personal injury lawyers are skilled at countering these tactics. Call (803) 219-2816 for a free case review.

All personal injury cases at Roden Law are handled on a contingency fee basis. You pay zero upfront — no retainer, no hourly billing, and no out-of-pocket costs. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict we recover for you, and if we do not win your case, you owe us nothing. This means anyone can access quality legal representation regardless of financial circumstances. Contact our Columbia office at (803) 219-2816 for a free, no-risk consultation.

Bring any documents related to your injury that you have available: the police report or incident report, medical records and bills, photographs of injuries and the accident scene, insurance policy details, correspondence from insurance companies, witness contact information, and records of missed work and lost income. Even if you do not have all of these, come in anyway — we can help you obtain the necessary documentation to build a strong case on your behalf.

Case value depends on many individual factors, including the severity of your injuries, your current and future medical expenses, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and how the injury has affected your daily life and independence. Cases involving permanent disability, disfigurement, or loss of life typically result in higher compensation. Roden Law has recovered over $250 million for clients and can provide a candid evaluation of your Columbia case. Call (803) 219-2816 for a free, no-obligation assessment.
