There are time limits for bringing an injury claim or lawsuit in South Carolina, known as the statute of limitations, which can vary by the type of claim and the details of your specific case. Furthermore, evidence and witness recollections are harder to collect the longer you wait. It is imperative to speak with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer in Greenville immediately to protect your ability to pursue justice and financial compensation for your injuries and losses. We offer free consultations to help injury victims in upstate South Carolina assess whether they have a strong case to seek financial compensation for their injuries, losses, and pain and suffering following an accident. If you have been hurt, you may be facing bills for medical expenses and future physical therapy costs in addition to your pain and frustration. Our skilled and experienced personal injury lawyers and staff at Hammack Law Firm will help you identify the right solutions for your unique situation.
Many times, the person who caused your injury may have owed you a duty of care that they neglected, leading to the accident. However, the burden of proof to show legal liability is on the injury victim (the plaintiff) and their lawyer. If we can prove that their negligence led to the accident and we can demonstrate the value of the losses you have suffered due to that accident, we can often pursue the value of those losses (known as damages) on your behalf. Some types of cases involve multiple parties that may share legal liability for your injuries, as is common in motor vehicle accidents involving a truck driver working for a trucking company.
In cases involving more extreme carelessness, such as some Greenville car accidents involving reckless driving or cases involving driving under the influence of alcohol, you and your lawyer may be able to seek punitive damages in addition to compensation for injuries, expenses, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering, psychological trauma, or reduced quality of life. The law recognizes that there are consequences when someone carelessly causes harm to another person. Let us advocate on your behalf and work to hold the careless party responsible for those consequences.
We will hold your hand through the case, and you won’t be charged unless we win.

Building a Strong Personal Injury Claim Through Evidence
In a South Carolina personal injury claim, it is essential to have support and evidence of negligence to hold another party liable for your damages. To build a strong and effective claim, our skillful attorneys will collaborate with a team of experts to uncover necessary evidence including:
1- Police Report
If a police officer assists the scene of your personal injury accident, they should have filed a report. This report from law enforcement can provide an unbiased perspective of the situation — whether the accident was a car accident, occurred at your workplace, or another location. An accident report can provide the cause of the accident, information about the people involved, details of injuries sustained, and other relevant pieces of information.
3- Visual Evidence
You have the right to take pictures and videos regarding the accident. This visual evidence will support the injuries and damages inflicted upon you. Try to document the following with visual evidence:
- The scene of the accident
- Injuries sustained
- Property damages
- Progress of your treatment
The more versatile and detailed your pictures are, the better help they will serve as evidence to build your claim.
5- Medical Records
When you seek medical care to assess your health after the accident, make sure to ask for documentation of your injuries sustained to exhibit the extent to which the accident has impacted your life. Seek records from the following health care providers you see after your accident:
- Emergency room
- Diagnostic centers
- Hospital
- Physical therapists
- Primary care providers
- Psychologists
- Specialists
- Surgical centers
Additional documents that should be preserved include medical and hospital bills, prescriptions, records of treatment, any related expenses, and even information regarding discharge.
2- Physical Evidence
Physical evidence can include anything from damaged property to tattered or bloody clothing that will serve to exhibit the injury you sustained. If possible, preserve pieces of physical evidence at the scene before it gets lost. Our attorneys will make sure that the defendant does not get away with getting rid of this essential evidence.
4- Eyewitness and Personal Testimony
If there were eyewitnesses at the scene of your accident, try to gather their contact information so our lawyers can later work on gathering their account of the situation. Furthermore, document your recollection of the accident on paper while the event is fresh in your mind. You should also keep a record of your injuries, medical statements, other fees related to the accident, and details of your treatment.
6- Interaction With Insurance Company
If you do engage with the other party’s insurance, be sure to take notes or even record the conversation. Beware that bad faith insurance adjusters may try to diminish the value of your settlement. Our firm will not let the defendant and their insurance company undermine you.
7- Loss of Wages
When you fall victim to a personal injury accident, your injuries may cause you to miss time at work. You should collect previous and current pay stubs from your place of employment that reflect a disparity of income. Lost wages may be compensated if they show an effect of your ability to sustain your lifestyle as it was prior to the incident. The liable party should pay for your losses at work. Additionally, you must provide documentation of the injuries or circumstances preventing you from returning to work or working at the same capacity before the injuries.
Our South Carolina attorneys want to serve you and pursue the compensation you need as you deal with the physical pain, emotional stress, and financial burdens that can be caused by a personal injury accident.
