Commonly asked questions
about Car Accident in SC

It’s very common to feel lost when injured in a car accident. If you’re like most clients, you probably have a lot of questions about your car accident case. So we’ve taken the time to answer the most common questions below.

Hiring an attorney early means avoiding costly mistakes. Personal injury claim deadlines vary by state.

However, because you may need to cover lost wages or pay medical bills, the sooner you contact a lawyer, the better. It’s important do so within two weeks of the accident…before reaching settlements with insurance companies.

Helpful information to provide your car accident attorney

The question of where to start may feel overwhelming; however, a qualified and compassionate attorney will patiently guide you through the process of gathering information, which may include the following:

Insurance information

Your attorney will need to see your policy to know what is covered, as well as proof that you’re up-to-date on premiums. Your attorney will also need to obtain copies of any statement your insurance company takes from you.

Information from the accident scene

Provide your attorney names, numbers and any other information you exchanged with those involved, as well as accident reports, traffic tickets and any photographs you took.

Records of how the accident has impacted you

If you can demonstrate evidence of lost wages, injuries, medical conditions or psychological trauma, such information is helpful, so provide copies, as well as medical professionals’ contact information.

In most situations, residents injured in Charleston, S.C. have a three-year time limit from the date of a car accident to file a claim against drivers at fault. There are some limited exceptions, but time is of the essence, so retain and consult an attorney as soon as your injuries are treated. If your attorney decides to file, the suit must start before the statute of limitations period ends.

Auto insurance companies must pay reasonable, fair compensation to the injured parties they insure, as well as to covered parties who have also suffered injuries.

If victims or their attorneys can demonstrate the other driver’s negligence, they can collect monetary recovery from a personal injury claim.

Unfortunately, victims who don’t hire a qualified attorney often feel frustrated and discouraged, prematurely accepting low-ball settlements instead of what they’re due.
