About South Carolina Civil Litigation
Civil lawsuits in South Carolina can be complex. Expert witnesses and testimony from people knowledgeable about the incident might be required to resolve conflicting versions of the facts. There also could be a dispute over the extent of injuries and the amount of lost wages or the need for future care.
Not only are the facts difficult, but South Carolina civil litigation laws can also cause plaintiffs to stumble. For example, lawsuits must be filed within a certain period, known as the statute of limitations, in order to be valid. The law also bars someone from recovering if they were 51 percent or more to blame for the accident. If the defendant is a government body, the civil litigation rules are different and a case must be filed under the Tort Claims Act.
An experienced South Carolina civil litigation attorney can help you through the process of filing and pursuing a personal injury lawsuit, including settlement negotiations and trial preparation.
Serious injuries suffered from an auto accident, a defective product, medical malpractice, or a workplace accident may be the result of someone else’s negligence or intentional act. If so, you may be entitled to receive compensation and recover damages from those individuals, companies, or other parties responsible for your or your loved one’s suffering.
Attorney Harry Allen will advise you about your rights to recover compensation for lost wages, medical bills, future medical care, and will fight to ensure that you or your loved one receives everything you may be entitled to for medical treatment and pain and suffering.
