While you may read or hear of traumatic events, you never expect one to happen to you. When it does — due to another person’s negligence — you deserve compensation for your damages.
Pursuing a personal injury claim or lawsuit does not guarantee a settlement. Insurance companies work hard to protect profits and their own interests.
Accident victims can protect their own interests with help from a Gaffney personal injury lawyer. An experienced personal injury lawyer understands state civil laws and recognizes unfair insurance tactics.
We owe others a duty of care as we interact along roadways, in businesses, or in other settings and situations. Accountability is necessary for those whose reckless behavior results in sudden and life-changing harm to others.
Among the most common types of personal injury cases are car accidents. A negligent driver may lose control due to:
A drunk driving arrest or speeding ticket does nothing to cover your damages. Accident victims have civil options for pursuing justice when they suffer traumatic harm.
Car accidents are just one type of personal injury case. Other common types of personal injury cases include:
If you or a close loved one suffered harm due to someone else’s negligent actions, help is available. A free consultation with a Gaffney personal injury attorney is a vital first step toward possible justice for your damages.

Should I accept a settlement offer without an attorney?
Accepting a settlement offer without an attorney is never a good idea. Securing an attorney can prevent you from accepting less than you deserve.
Can I take time to think about whether I want to pursue a personal injury case?
The statute of limitations is state law that limits the time allowed for pursuing compensation for your damages. It is best that you contact an attorney as soon as possible.
If my loved one dies due to their injuries, can I pursue a wrongful death case?
South Carolina law specifies who can pursue a wrongful death action when a death results from negligence. If you lost a close loved one, schedule a free case consultation without delay.
