+ More About Personal Injury

When we take on your personal injury case, we hold those responsible for your injuries accountable. You can trust the details to us, and we’ll be sure we keep you fully informed at every step in the process. Work with James Whalen and Eric Montalvo, and you’ll know we will…

  • Investigate an accident scene and all circumstances surrounding your injuries
  • Interview any witnesses to ensure details about your injuries are captured
  • Manage all paperwork on your behalf
  • Handle all communications with insurers so you don’t have to
  • Bring in expert witnesses to strengthen your case
  • Negotiate the best possible settlement amount for your injuries
  • Discuss taking your case to trial If we aren’t happy with the settlement offer
  • Litigate aggressively in court to ensure you are fully and fairly compensated.

We’re available to you whenever you need us and are ready to answer any questions you have. And there are no fees when we take your personal injury case. We get paid only if we win.

What Is the Value of Your Personal Injury Case?

In a personal injury case, our success is built upon being able to prove that another party was negligent in their actions and that their negligence caused your injuries. Sometimes multiple parties can be held responsible. We will build detailed evidence to determine who should provide your compensation.

The types of compensation you may obtain are called damages and they are categorized as economic and non-economic. Economic damages can be easily calculated and may include:

  • Emergency room bills
  • Hospital and surgery bills
  • Lost income while you were unable to work
  • Future lost income if your injuries prevent you from working for a long time
  • Transportation costs for any medical appointments
  • Bills for physical and occupational therapy.

Our attorneys will also calculate non-economic damages related to other effects of your injuries such as…

  • Emotional distress
  • Disfigurement or scarring
  • Pain and suffering.

Sometimes, our clients suffer the ultimate loss: a loved one who died in an accident caused by the negligence of others. In this tragic circumstance, we will pursue a wrongful death case. If your loved one suffered serious injuries but lived on for some time before passing, we can pursue all damages that would apply to a typical personal injury claim. Upon their passing, we calculate damages based on the losses you experience. These may include:

  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of your loved one’s projected income
  • Funeral and burial costs.

Because the circumstances of each case are unique, we urge you to reach out to our team to find out how much your case may be worth. You should receive full and fair compensation when you’ve been severely injured or lost a loved one. We will zealously pursue all that you deserve. Our personal injury attorneys are skilled negotiators and will be relentless in dealing with insurers and their team of lawyers. If your case goes to trial, our attorneys won’t back down: they will fiercely fight for you in court.

Criminal Defense Lawyers

Our legal practice also skillfully handles criminal defense cases. With a strong background in successfully defending our clients, we take pride in protecting their future. We will focus our work on getting your case dismissed or lowering charges when dismissal isn’t possible. Our attorneys have worked as both prosecutors and defense attorneys. This means we anticipate and plan for the tactics prosecutors use. Our work in the courtroom is unrivaled.

+ More About Defense

How Our Criminal Defense Attorneys Help You. There are many, complex steps in the legal process of a criminal case in South Carolina. Our team at Whalen Montalvo will not only be at your side throughout, but we’ll explain what to expect, what options you have, and how we can provide you the best possible outcome. One of our strengths is strategy. We will develop a defense strategy based upon gathering all evidence available to help your case and then leveraging our detailed knowledge of South Carolina law. We will look for all opportunities to get your case dismissed; if that’s not possible, we will negotiate with the prosecutor to have your charges reduced. We may recommend a plea bargain, or we may proceed to trial.

If your case goes to court, you’ll have experienced, fierce advocates who will protect your rights and focus upon proving that reasonable doubt exists. You don’t have to prove your innocence -- you simply have to show the jury there is reasonable doubt as to your guilt.
