For a comprehensive FREE case review, call a Gaffney personal injury lawyer at Holland & Usry to get your questions answered, and find out if you need a lawyer.
Accidents can happen whenever and wherever people interact. Negligence or recklessness is likely the cause, and when serious injuries occur, negotiations or lawsuits may be the result. Personal injury cases in which negligence could be a factor include:
Whether you are injured on the road, in the workplace, at someone’s home, at a business, a medical or assisted living facility, or in a public space in Cherokee County, a Gaffney personal injury attorney can pursue compensation from the person who is responsible.
Settlements are driven by what legal professionals and insurance executives feel a jury might do in your case.
If a jury finds that negligence caused your accident, they must then determine how much compensation should be awarded. Economic losses are costs that can be easily calculated, such as medical treatment and lost wages. Non-economic losses are harder to calculate, such as loss of your enjoyment of life due to paralysis or disfigurement. Call for a FREE personal injury case review, and let a Gaffney attorney at Holland & Usry lift some of the burden from your shoulders.
Sometimes you may be partly responsible for your accident and injuries. South Carolina assigns the percentage of blame to those involved under a doctrine called modified comparative negligence. As long as you are not more to blame, you can be awarded compensation, but it will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are awarded $1,000,000 and are 10 percent responsible for causing the accident, you’ll get $900,000. A lawyer can answer any questions you might have about your personal injury claim during your FREE case review in Gaffney.
South Carolina law generally gives you two to three years to file a personal injury lawsuit. The time period might start on the day of the accident, when you discover your injuries, or in some cases, when you should have discovered them.
Failing to file a lawsuit within the permitted time limit means you will miss your opportunity to recover compensation. It’s in your best interest to contact a Gaffney personal injury attorney as soon as possible for a FREE case review.
