Aiken Personal Injury Lawyer

If another person or entity’s negligence injured you or a loved one, you could seek financial compensation. Your recoverable damages can include medical bills, income loss, and physical and emotional pain and suffering. If you can prove negligence, the liable party might have to compensate you for related expenses, including assistive medical devices, counseling, or rehabilitation.

Our Aiken personal injury lawyer at Hammack Law Firm will collect evidence of your accident and use it to identify the at-fault party and their insurance company. The evidence must prove the negligence that entitles you to compensation for your recoverable damages. We will negotiate with an insurer for a settlement. However, we will represent you in court if necessary. We prepare as if we’re going to trial from the very start.

Assess the Value of Your Personal Injury Damages

S.C. Ann. § 15-32-210 entitles you to economic and non-economic damages after an accident. The value of your case will depend on the severity of your injuries and the amount of time they force you to miss work. Calculating it on your own can be difficult, especially when it comes to assigning a value to your non-economic damages. We help you assign a value to your:

• Medical bills, including emergency and ongoing medical care, hospital stays, and long-term physical therapy or rehab. Some accidents that lead to injury cases can also cause mental and emotional trauma. Victims might be able to recover damages for their mental health care.
• Loss of income for the time you spend being treated for and recovering from your injuries. You can request payment for sick days you might use to cover your recuperative period.
• Pain and suffering, which could include physical disability and lasting or permanent scarring and disfigurement.

Wrongful Death Damages in an Aiken, S.C., Injury Case

If someone you love was fatally injured in a negligence-based accident, you can also request wrongful death damages. This can include compensation for your loved one’s funeral and burial costs. In addition, you can receive compensation for your loss of consortium, companionship, and guidance. Our team will ensure your case is accurately assessed before giving it a monetary value.

We Must Comply with South Carolina’s Statute of Limitations

Filing a civil lawsuit is a time-sensitive matter. In most instances, personal injury cases settle out of court after an investigation gathers case evidence. If your case must proceed to trial, you or your lawyer must file it within the state’s pre-determined timeline. Accordingly:

• If an accident hurt you or someone you love, S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530 generally provides you with up to three years to file your injury lawsuit.
• If your family member did not survive the accident that caused their injuries, the same statute and timeline would govern your wrongful death lawsuit. You have three years from your loved one’s death date to file your action.

When you give us enough notice of your accident and intent to sue for damages, we ensure we meet the statutory filing deadline. We also identify the relevant deadline and any circumstances that might alter it.
