Justice for Your Loved One
Losing a loved one due to another person's carelessness is an unimaginable and heartbreaking tragedy. The emotional devastation and sudden loss leave families feeling uncertain about their future. Oftentimes there are legal and factual questions that cannot be answered without experienced legal representation. And the responsible parties or insurance companies may blame the deceased—who is no longer able to speak for themselves.
Medical bills, funeral costs, and the loss of financial support create an overwhelming burden that no family should have to face alone. The loss of companionship, grief, and mental suffering are also compensable under South Carolina law. A wrongful death claim gives your family the power to demand answers, secure stability, and hold responsible parties accountable for their actions.
While nothing can replace the loss of a loved one, SC Injury Law can help you move forward by taking action.

Individuals represented by attorneys have a 91% chance of receiving a settlement, compared to a 51% success rate for those without legal representation.
Approximately 95% of personal injury cases are settled before reaching trial.
For the small percentage of cases that proceed to trial, plaintiffs represented by attorneys have a 60% success rate.

It is a simple truth that the potential for litigation, and ultimately trial, is the primary force that drives settlement value and holds profit-motivated insurance companies accountable. This is an unavoidable reality not just accepted, but embraced, by SC Injury Law. We understand that while most clients would prefer to avoid litigation whenever favorable resolution can be negotiated (and the vast majority of cases settle), we are also prepared to go the distance should insurance companies attempt to unfairly exert their extensive resources in negotiations. It is through this reputation and dedication that SC Injury Law's approach helps to reduce the possibility of prolonged litigation without compromising the client's recovery.

Get answers to common questions about wrongful death cases and how we can help you.
Many cases settle out of the court but, if a fair settlement isn't reached, litigation may be necessary.
South Carolina follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning compensation may still be available if the deceased was 50% or less at fault.
In South Carolina, the statute of limitations against most people and businesses is three years from the date of death and two years against most governmental and charitable entities.
Damages may include medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Survival damages can also be recovered to compensate for any physical and mental suffering of the deceased.
The personal representative of the deceased's estate can file the claim, typically on behalf of surviving family members such as the spouse, children, or parents. An experienced lawyer can help get a personal representative appointed and determine the estate beneficiaries.
