Frequently Asked Questions about Personal Injury Cases in South Carolina

1 – What should I do immediately after an accident in South Carolina?

Ensure your safety and seek medical attention, as South Carolina law may consider the gap between the accident and medical treatment when evaluating claims. Document the scene and gather information from witnesses. Report the accident to the police if it involves significant injury, death, or property damage.

2 – What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in South Carolina?

In South Carolina, you typically have three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit in civil court. This timeframe is crucial as failing to file within this period typically results in losing your right to sue.

In some circumstances, this timeframe may be shorter. For example, claims against the government often have a 2-year statute pursuant to the South Carolina Tort Claims Act.
