You May Be Eligible for Compensation.
If you were recently injured in an auto accident in South Carolina, you may be dealing with medical bills that you can’t afford, especially if you’re too hurt to go back to work. At Joye Law Firm, we believe that South Carolina car accident victims shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for their own crash-related expenses.
When you call us, we’ll start building a claim that’s designed to maximize your recovery.
We know that injury claims are about more than money; they are about people. You need somebody who cares. Respect, compassion, and care are what you can expect from our lawyers and staff.
We can help make sure you get the medical care you need. We can help you see doctors, specialists, and therapists, if needed. We work to cut through the insurance red tape and see that your medical bills are paid. We might also help get your car fixed and line up a rental vehicle. We will tend to a thousand little details so that you can concentrate on getting better.
We’ve secured over $600 million in verdicts and settlements for our clients. We obtained a $5.9 million settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury in a car accident and a $12 million verdict for the family of a man and his infant son killed in a wreck.
*Every case is unique. Past results don’t guarantee a similar outcome, even if the facts seem identical. However, past results do highlight a firm’s experience in serious injury and wrongful death cases.
There is no such thing as a “typical” car crash. Each one is different. Rear-end collisions. Rollovers. Reckless driving accidents. No matter how your accident happened, we know how to take care of you.
Dealing with insurance companies is no fun. You might have heard the phrase “deny, delay, and defend.” That is the approach many companies take when someone files a claim. You need someone who knows the law and can advocate for your rights and interests.
There is no charge to talk to us about your case and no obligation to choose us as your lawyers after we’ve talked.
No. Based on the information insurance agents and insurance carriers provide us, simply because an injured person pursues a claim doesn’t mean that their insurance premium will be increased. It is when a person’s negligent or wrongful acts cause injury that their own insurance premiums are increased.
Remember who the adjuster works for: an insurance company. They have one goal: to settle your case for the least amount of money possible. What may seem like a fair offer to you could fall far short of any amount of money settled through a lawyer. It is a good idea to consult with one of our South Carolina injury lawyers at Joye Law Firm before accepting any offer made to you by an insurance company.
South Carolina law says that you have three years from the time of your accident to file a personal injury claim in court. But you must take into consideration the time it takes to develop the case for a car accident claim, as well as other time limits that may apply.
Personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are complex. There is time-consuming work that goes into preparing a claim. The investigation behind a lawsuit includes looking into the accident to determine how it happened, and the other driver’s role. The other key work required in a personal injury investigation is determining your losses so we know how much to ask for.
In some cases, there is a third party who should be held liable for a car accident. That would require developing a separate claim before time runs out.
Each case is different, and some can be developed and settled faster than others. But it is always better to get started as soon as possible. We urge you to contact Joye Law Firm about your case today.
