Experienced Personal Injury Representation in Dorchester County

We have a proven track record of helping accident victims in Dorchester County. From U.S. Highway 78 to I-26, we understand the dangers that cause painful injuries. Our legal team fights for your rights, seeking compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Acting fast is encouraged—South Carolina’s deadlines could impact your ability to seek damages. Our attorneys work efficiently to build strong claims and protect your rights.

Car Accidents

Car accidents happen all the time on roads like Ashley Phosphate and Bacons Bridge. Some of the most common reasons are:

  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Drunk driving
  • Reckless or aggressive driving
  • Failure to obey traffic laws

After an accident, seeking medical attention is crucial. Facilities like Summerville Medical Center and Trident Medical Center provide necessary emergency care. Getting proof at the scene and talking to a lawyer as soon as possible can strengthen your claim.

Truck Accidents

Interstate 26 sees heavy truck traffic, increasing the risk of harmful accidents. If you were hit by a commercial truck, an experienced truck accident lawyer can investigate the cause, gather evidence, and hold the trucking company accountable. We handle cases involving driver fatigue, overloaded cargo, and improper maintenance.

Strong representation is imperative because trucking companies and insurance providers often have aggressive legal teams. Our firm has extensive experience handling truck accident claims and knows how to fight back against large corporations to recover fair compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are vulnerable on the roads, especially at intersections like Bacon’s Bridge (SC 165) and Ashley River Road (SC 61) and can often result in severe injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Our firm understands riders’ unique challenges and works hard to protect their rights.

Medical Malpractice

Medical mistakes can cause life-changing injuries. A medical malpractice lawyer could pursue justice on your behalf if you suffered harm due to a healthcare provider’s negligence at Trident Medical Center or another local facility.

Common medical malpractice cases include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
  • Surgical errors
  • Medication mistakes
  • Birth injuries
  • Anesthesia errors

Doctors and hospitals must be held accountable for negligent care. If you or a loved one has suffered due to medical negligence, we can help you take legal action.

Disability

If a serious injury prevents you from working, you may qualify for disability benefits. However, filing for disability can be complicated, and many initial claims are denied. Our attorneys help clients gather medical evidence, complete paperwork accurately, and represent them in hearings when necessary.

Workers’ Compensation

If you’re injured on the job in Dorchester County, SC, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you secure the benefits you deserve. Employers and insurers often minimize or deny claims, but an attorney provides proper filing, fights for medical treatment, lost wages, and disability compensation, and protects your rights. With legal guidance, you can avoid costly mistakes and focus on recovery while your lawyer handles negotiations.
