How to choose a lawyer in Cope

Pick a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, and whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers that write policies in this area. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays case costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day, since some firms pass work to others. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Cope

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, exchange and gather information from everyone involved and any witnesses, and avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep every record: bills, reports, and correspondence. Then act promptly. South Carolina gives you 3 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, so delays can cost you options. Once you have done these steps, use our directory to find a local attorney who can review your situation.
