Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney?
It’s always a better option to work with an accident injury attorney than without one. Most importantly, an attorney can help you secure higher amounts of compensation. Additionally, attorneys can streamline the claims process and take the legal burden off your shoulders. An attorney will handle every aspect of filing a claim and recovering your compensation, from investigating the accident to filing lawsuits if necessary. You can focus on healing while your attorney handles the legal legwork.
South Carolina’s Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Lawsuits
SC Code 15-3-530(5) sets the statute of limitation deadline for personal injury lawsuits in South Carolina at three years. This means you have a three-year time limit to initiate a formal lawsuit for your injuries. If three years elapse, the courts will reject any lawsuit you file without hearing it.
