FAQs:
What types of cases do you accept referrals for?
Derrick Law Firm accepts referrals for all personal injury cases within the state of South Carolina, including car accidents, truck accidents, accidents resulting in traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or spinal cord injuries, and nursing home abuse claims. Additionally, we accept referrals for wrongful death claims where someone has died as the result of another party’s negligence.
Why should I refer a case to you?
Attorneys come to us for a number of reasons, including our personal injury experience, our ability to offer a focus group option for presenting case arguments, our knowledge of what to expect from South Carolina juries, and our reputation within the community. We are happy to schedule a meeting to discuss how we can help you meet your client’s needs.
How much work will I have to do as the referring attorney?
Our relationship with referring attorneys is determined on a case-by-case basis. You can be involved as much—or as little—as you feel comfortable with considering your workload. We’re willing to take the lead if desired, providing help taking depositions and preparing for trial.
Do I need to be out of state to refer a case to you?
While we are happy to accept referrals from attorneys outside the state, we are open to working with attorneys throughout South Carolina as well. Many of our in-state referrals come from firms that lack the resources or experience to fully develop a case. We also regularly work with larger South Carolina firms.
