Spinal Cord Injury Lawyers in Murrells Inlet, SC

In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is 3 years from the date of the injury under S.C. Code § 15-3-530. This means you generally have 3 years to file a spinal cord injury lawsuit, or you risk losing your right to seek compensation entirely. While 3 years may seem like sufficient time, evidence can disappear and witness memories fade quickly, so acting sooner strengthens your case significantly. Contact our Myrtle Beach office at (843) 612-1980 for a free consultation to protect your rights.

Under South Carolina's modified comparative negligence, you can still recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the accident (i.e., less than 51% at fault). Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault and your total damages are $100,000, you would receive $80,000. However, if you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any compensation at all. Insurance companies frequently attempt to shift blame to injury victims to reduce or deny payouts. Our Myrtle Beach spinal cord injury attorneys know how to counter these tactics and build a strong case that accurately reflects the other party's negligence. Call (843) 612-1980 for a free case review.

Every spinal cord injury case is unique, and the value depends on several factors specific to your situation, including the level and completeness of the spinal cord injury, whether paralysis is partial or complete, lifetime medical care costs including surgeries, rehabilitation, and assistive devices, lost earning capacity, the need for home modifications and personal care assistance, and pain and suffering. There is no fixed formula for calculating what a case is worth — it depends entirely on the facts and circumstances involved. Insurance companies often make lowball initial offers hoping you will accept less than your case is truly worth.
