Charleston Personal Injury Attorney

Mastantuno Law Firm

If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence, you don’t need generic legal advice. You need a Charleston personal injury attorney who understands the courts, the insurance tactics, and how to push for full compensation.

At Mastantuno Law Firm, we represent injury victims throughout Charleston and surrounding communities. Our focus is simple: protect your rights, handle the pressure, and pursue the maximum recovery available under South Carolina law.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Personal injury law covers many different types of accidents. We represent clients in cases involving:

Car accidents

We represent victims injured in car accidents caused by distracted, reckless, or impaired drivers throughout South Carolina.

Motorcycle accidents and Bike Accidents

Motorcyclists face severe injuries in collisions, and we fight to ensure riders are not unfairly blamed by insurance companies.

Truck accidents

Truck accident cases often involve complex liability and federal regulations, requiring aggressive investigation and legal strategy.

Pedestrian accidents

When drivers fail to yield or pay attention, pedestrians suffer devastating injuries that demand serious legal action.

Slip and fall injuries

Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises, and we hold them accountable when hazardous conditions cause harm.

Dog Bites

Dog attack victims may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment, scarring, and emotional trauma.

Premises liability

Unsafe property conditions, negligent security, and building code violations can all form the basis of a premises liability claim.

Wrongful death

We represent families seeking justice and financial recovery after losing a loved one due to negligence.

Assault-related injuries

Victims of assault may pursue civil claims against responsible parties, including negligent property owners.

Hit-and-run accidents

Even if the at-fault driver flees the scene, you may still have legal options through uninsured motorist coverage.

Every case is different. The common thread is negligence — when another party fails to act responsibly and causes harm.

7 Common Mistakes That Can Kill a Personal Injury Case Before It Starts

What Compensation Can You Recover?

A personal injury claim may allow you to recover compensation for:

• Medical bills (current and future)
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Property damage
• Wrongful death damages (in fatal cases)

Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to minimize payouts. Our job is to build a strong case backed by medical records, documentation, expert analysis, and negotiation strategy.

Why Hiring a Charleston Personal Injury Attorney Matters

South Carolina personal injury laws include:

• Comparative negligence rules
• Strict filing deadlines (statute of limitations)
• Complex insurance procedures
• Specific rules for government liability cases

A mistake early in your case can reduce or eliminate compensation. Working with a local attorney ensures:

• Evidence is preserved quickly
• Insurance adjusters are handled properly
• Deadlines are met
• Settlement offers are evaluated accurately

If necessary, we are prepared to take your case to trial.

What To Do After an Injury in Charleston

If you were injured:

1. Seek medical attention immediately
2. Report the incident (police report or property report)
3. Do not give recorded statements to insurance without legal advice
4. Document everything — photos, injuries, witnesses
5. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible

Early action can significantly impact the strength of your case.
