Fair Verdicts
Fair Verdicts Protect us all. Almost all civil trials involving injuries and disability involve insurance money. That is inadmissible in South Carolina so the juries never hear that fact. If the jury evaluates the case based upon the facts and law and provides a fair verdict for both past and future damages it protects the injured party by providing adequate care; it protects all of us because the insurance companies will use the verdict to establish what will be paid in the future when it happens to one of us; and it protects all taxpayers by placing the burden of the health care and disability on the insurance company that has received a premium, instead of making taxpayers pay it with free health care in a clinic or emergency room, and pay support through medicaire, medicaid and or social security disability.
