How We Help Florence-Area Residents

All we do is personal injury and wrongful death. This focus means that we have seen it all in our three decades of legal practice in South Carolina. Do not hesitate to call us if you or a loved one has been injured by the negligence of another party and are experiencing any of the following factors that can make it more difficult to pursue a personal injury claim without the help of a lawyer.

Catastrophic Injuries

If the injuries you sustained are severe, requiring hospitalization, surgery, extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, or resulting in long-term disabilities, you will need a lawyer who understands what you need to recover.

Medical Expenses

Overwhelming medical bills are evidence that you have suffered damages due to the negligence of another party. A lawyer can evaluate the circumstances of your accident to determine if you have a case.

Loss of Income

You will need a lawyer to help you recover lost income if your injuries have led to a significant loss of wages due to missed work, disability, or the inability to perform job duties.

Liability Concerns

Not every accident is cut and dried in terms of who is at fault. If there is uncertainty or dispute regarding who caused the accident or injury and liability is contested, legal guidance is crucial. We may call in expert witnesses to help determine fault.

Insurance Disputes

If there are disputes with insurance companies regarding coverage or settlement offers, or if your claim is wrongfully denied, a lawyer might be able to turn things around.

Complex Legal Procedures

Legal complexities, such as dealing with multiple parties, unclear liability, court proceedings, or intricate legal processes, warrant working with an experienced personal injury attorney.

Long-Term Impact on Quality of Life

If the injury is projected to result in a diminished quality of life, ongoing pain and suffering, or a permanent disability, you need a lawyer who can calculate the potential life-long cost of the injury.

Wrongful Death

If the incident led to the wrongful death of a loved one, you should consult an attorney to explore potential legal actions.
