Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a lawyer is willing to take a case to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers that handle claims in your area. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and costs, and ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory.
What to do after an accident in Pelion
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, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved, including witnesses and insurance details. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Acting promptly matters in South Carolina, which has a filing deadline of 3 years from the date of injury. If you are unsure about your next step, connecting with a local attorney early can help protect your claim.
