Are You Suffering From One of These Injuries?
If you’ve suffered one of these types of common injuries after a car accident in North Charleston, our experienced and dedicated car accident lawyers may be able to help.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can be life-changing. Suffering a TBI can cause long-term or even lifelong hardships, including making it hard to think and reason, changes in personality, and many other mental and physical challenges.
Your spine is the area of your body that allows your brain to communicate with the rest of your body. Damage to your neck and back can result in any number of issues, from chronic pain to troubles with breathing and even loss of limb function.
Soft tissue injuries refer to the harm you might have suffered to your muscles and organs. The most common of these from a car accident is whiplash, but you could also suffer from torn muscles or serious damage to internal organs.
When you’ve suffered harm to your back or even serious damage to a limb, you might suffer a loss of mobility and strength in your extremities or even complete paralysis.
Some of the worst damage you can suffer from a car accident may be the complete loss of one or more limbs. This is a lifelong injury that can permanently change the way you live.
Why Do Car Accidents Happen?
Car accidents happen for a wide variety of reasons. When it’s due to someone else’s carelessness, you deserve compensation for your injuries. Here are a few common causes of car accidents due to recklessness:
- Drunk driving
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Driving while exhausted
- Poor road conditions
- Ignoring road signs
What You Need to Prove
In personal injury law, the most important legal concept is negligence. This means, in essence, that someone else’s reckless actions are the reason you got hurt. To get full compensation for your injuries, you’ll need to be able to prove three things:
- The other person (the defendant) acted in a way that no reasonable person would’ve acted.
- Their careless action was the reason why the accident occurred.
- Your injury was directly caused by the accident.
Proving these three things can be much trickier than it seems. That’s why you need a qualified car wreck attorney.
Frequently Asked Questions
It’s not uncommon for insurance companies to bully or strong-arm people into signing away their rights on lowball offers. Don’t fall for it. Direct them to your North Charleston, SC, car accident lawyers at Miller, Dawson, Sigal & Ward Injury Attorneys instead.
You probably won’t have to go to court, but the real answer is “maybe.” Each case is different, and while it’s much better for everyone to come to a negotiated settlement, and most cases do settle out of court, sometimes it does happen. We’re ready to fight for justice for you no matter what happens.
A statute of limitations means you have to file your case within a certain window of time to be eligible for compensation. In South Carolina, this time frame is generally within three years of your car crash or three years after the death of a loved one in the case of a wrongful death suit. However, if you are filing your case against a governmental entity, this time frame can be shortened to two years from the date of your accident. In any case, it’s vitally important to speak with an experienced attorney, because the amount of time you have to take legal action can be different depending on the facts of your case.
In South Carolina, your award can be reduced by a percentage equal to the fault you have in the accident. That means if the courts find you are 30% responsible, your compensation will be reduced by 30%. If you are found more than 50% responsible, you are barred from recovery. That’s why you need a car wreck lawyer to help you build a case that lowers your responsibility and works to get you maximum compensation.
Let us tell you after we review your case. No attorney can realistically value your case without knowing all the facts. That includes liability, medical bills, lost wages, lost potential future earnings, pain and suffering, and more. Get in touch with us to discuss your case, and we’ll figure out what it’s worth together.
