You’ve been seriously injured, you feel lost, medical bills are piling up and you’re unsure of what to do next. But, you know you need help getting back on your feet.
If you are reading this page, chances are you or someone you know has suffered a serious injury due to the negligence of another.
You see, victims of personal injury cases often find themselves left in a situation that feels hopeless. From being overwhelmed with medical bills to dealing with a physical or emotional injury, the strain is usually more than they can bear.
It can feel very unfair that you are dealing with a financial crisis especially when the accident wasn’t even your fault!
What’s more, the insurance company often times works against you every step of the way in an effort to avoid compensating you for your pain, suffering and financial losses.
The lawyers at Coastal Law routinely handle personal injury cases in the Horry County, Conway, and Myrtle Beach areas of South Carolina.
Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney?
Absolutely, and here’s why. While you aren’t required to have a personal injury attorney, it is advisable for a number of reasons.
You are much more likely to win your case and receive appropriate compensation with an experienced personal injury attorney representing your best interest.
Personal Injury law is complex and research-intensive. You need a personal injury lawyer that regularly handles these types of cases, knows the process, and how to work towards your goals.
Putting forward a good case is time-consuming. Drafting court documents, dealing with insurance companies, settlement negotiations, and preparing for trial can all be frustrating and take up a lot of your time.
An attorney who handles personal injury cases can take on that burden for you so you can focus your attention on your family. Not to mention, it allows you to detach mentally and emotionally which will bring you peace of mind.
We Represent People Facing Serious Injuries
In South Carolina you have three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim.
While this sounds like plenty of time, there is a lot of work that goes into this type of case, such as preparing court filings, interviewing witnesses, tracking down health insurance documents, and much more.
Your personal injury attorney needs to immediately begin investigating your case – the evidence that you need to make your claim, including witness statements and physical evidence from the scene, will be more difficult to collect as time goes by.
DID YOU KNOW…?
South Carolina follows a comparative negligence system.
This means that you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for your injury.
However, the amount you receive will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for a car accident, your compensation will be reduced by 20%.
