Understanding South Carolina Personal Injury Law
South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means injured individuals may still recover compensation if they are partially at fault for an accident, provided they are not more than 50% responsible.
Insurance companies frequently attempt to reduce payouts by shifting blame to injury victims. For this reason, it is important to consult with a Charleston personal injury lawyer before accepting a settlement offer.
Charleston’s Historic District and Growing Population
Charleston is one of the most recognizable cities in the Southeast, known for its historic downtown, waterfront communities, and thriving tourism industry. Landmarks such as Rainbow Row, The Battery, and the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge attract millions of visitors each year.
As Charleston continues to grow, increased traffic congestion, commercial development, tourism activity, and construction projects contribute to a greater risk of accidents and injuries throughout the region.
From downtown Charleston to Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, James Island, and surrounding Lowcountry communities, injury victims often face significant challenges when dealing with insurance companies and pursuing compensation after a serious accident.
Schehr Law PLLC is committed to helping individuals and families throughout the Charleston area understand their rights and pursue the compensation they deserve.
