Your Injury Claim Has a Time Limit
All personal injury claims have a time limit. In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally 3 years. This means that you have three years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit, otherwise you give up your right to recover compensation for your injuries and damages.
The moment you are injured, take action and begin gathering records, talking to an attorney, and finding out the steps you need to file a claim. Your attorney can begin evaluating the types of damages you may be able to recover and start investigating liability. Dealing with insurance companies can also take time because negotiations tend to go back and forth, so it is important that get started as soon as possible. Protect your right to compensation today.
Damages in Charleston Personal Injury Cases
Before you file a personal injury claim, you need to know more than your claim type. You will also need to know the types of damages you could seek and their amounts. Our attorneys can help you calculate the value of your case and help you seek maximum compensation for your tangible and intangible losses.
Depending on the circumstances, we can help you pursue compensation for the following damages:
- Present and future medical bills
- Lost wages and other income
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Property damage
- Wrongful death
