Personal Injury Questions

Do I need to talk to an attorney right away?

You need to talk to an attorney as soon as possible so all your rights are protected. It is also important to preserve all the evidence in your case.

What about my lost wages?

You are entitled to full compensation for time off work due to your injuries. Keep your own log of your time off work. We will assist you in obtaining statements from your employer for your time off work.

My vehicle was damagd in an auto accident. What am I entitled to?

If you were injured in an auto accident, we will help you obtain a rental car and maximize the amount available under South Carolina law for your vehicle, with no fee on the settlement for your vehicle.

Why shouldn't I cooperate with the insurance company?

You should never give a recorded statement to the claims adjuster for the insurance company without consulting first with an attorney. The claims adjuster works for the insurance company. Their job is to help their employer and the person or business who caused your injury. It is not to help you.

Never sign any papers sent by the insurance company without first talking to an attorney!

I was injured on-the-job. Am I still entitled to compensation?

If you were injured on-the-job and Workers' Compensation is paying for your medical treatment, you should definitely consult with an attorney. You may be entitled to additional compensation for your pain and suffering and lost wages.

How much is my case worth?

Many factors enter into the valuation of your claim. Important factors include how long you need medical treatment, what kind of treatment you need, the length of time you continue to experience pain and suffering from the accident, and the permanency of your injuries.

I have a lot of aches & pains, but no broken bones. Am I still entitled to compensation?

Muscle strains and sprains can be very painful. Even if you did not have any broken bones or a concussion, you may be entitled to a settlement for your pain and suffering.

As your attorney, we will help you obtain the maximum result possible.
