Common Types of Personal Injury Cases in South Carolina
In South Carolina, a personal injury claim happens when someone is hurt because another person acted carelessly or intentionally. The law allows victims to seek money, called compensatory damages, to cover medical bills, lost income, and other losses.
Car Accidents in South Carolina
- South Carolina is a fault state. The driver who caused the crash pays.
- You may recover money for medical bills, lost wages, and other losses.
- Common causes include speeding and drunk driving.
- If police do not respond, the driver must file Form FR-309.
On-the-Job Injuries
- Covers employees hurt at work.
- Pays for medical treatment and about two-thirds of lost wages.
- You do not have to prove your employer was at fault.
- Pain and suffering are not covered.
LITIGATION
When a Case Goes to Court
- Used when insurance companies refuse a fair settlement.
- Involves filing a lawsuit and presenting your case in court.

10 Things You Need to Know About Your Case
Unlike other law firms, we’re more straightforward. Here is the simple truth about your case:
- What is my case worth? Your case value depends on your medical bills, lost work pay, and pain. We review every detail to help you recover the most money possible.
- How long will my case take? Some cases settle in a few months. Others take longer if court action is needed. We push insurance companies to move faster.
- Will I have to go to court? Most cases settle outside of court. If the insurance company is not fair, we are ready to represent you before a judge.
- Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault? Yes. In South Carolina, you can get money if you are 50 percent or less at fault. The amount you receive will be reduced by your share of the fault. If you are more than 50 percent at fault, you cannot get any compensation.
- Do I have to give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer? No. You are not legally required to give a recorded statement. Insurance companies often use statements to reduce or deny claims.
- The insurance adjuster wants to settle quickly. Should I agree? No. Quick settlement offers often come before the full injury is known. Once you sign a release, you cannot ask for more money later.
- How long do I have to file a claim? Most personal injury claims in South Carolina must be filed within three years from the date of the injury.
- What can you get paid for? A South Carolina personal injury claim may include medical bills, future medical care, lost income, reduced ability to work, pain and suffering, and property damage.
- Can I see my own doctor? Yes. However, proper medical documentation is critical. Gaps in treatment often lead insurers to deny claims. That’s why hiring an injury attorney is important to help guide you through a successful case.
- How much does a personal injury lawyer cost? You pay nothing upfront. You get a free case review. There are no hourly fees. You only pay if we win your case. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing.
If you prefer not to overwhelm yourself with the complex and often tedious process of filing an accident claim, contact us for help.

4 Essential Laws for Accident Victims Need To Know
1. The 51% Fault Bar
Simplified Explanation: This is a “Who is More at Fault?” Rule. Think of a 100-point scale of “blame.” In South Carolina, as long as the accident was mostly the other person’s fault (50% or less your fault), you can still get money for your injuries.
- “Modified Comparative Negligence” rule: This means you can recover damages only if your fault is 50% or less. If you are found to be 51% or more responsible for the accident, you are legally barred from recovering any compensation.
- The Reduction Rule: If you are 20% at fault, your total compensation will be reduced by 20%.
- Source: S.C. Code Ann. § 15-38-15
2. Statute of Limitations (The “3-Year Rule”)
Simplified Explanation: There is a “countdown clock” for your case. For most accidents, you have 3 years from the day of the crash to file a lawsuit.
- Government Exception: If the at-fault party is a government entity (e.g., a city bus or state vehicle), the deadline is generally shortened to two years under the Tort Claims Act.
- Source: S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530
3. Reporting Requirements
Simplified Explanation: Basically report every accident every time because, if anyone is hurt, or if the damage to the cars looks like it will cost more than $1,000 to fix, the police must be told.
- Immediate Action: You must notify law enforcement immediately.
- Form FR-309: If a officer does not investigate the scene, you must file a Traffic Collision Report (Form FR-309) with the SCDMV within 15 days.
- Source: S.C. Code Ann. § 56-5-1270
4. Damage Caps
Simplified Explanation: There is no limit on money for “real costs” like hospital bills or fixing your car. However, there is a “ceiling” on money for things you can’t see, like “pain and suffering.
While South Carolina does not cap “economic” damages (medical bills, lost wages), there are limits on other types:
- Medical Malpractice: Non-economic damages (pain and suffering) are capped at approximately $350,000 per defendant and $1.05 million total.
- Government Claims: Claims against government agencies are generally capped at $300,000 per person.
- Punitive Damages: These are capped at the greater of three times your actual damages or $500,000.
- Source: S.C. Code Ann. § 15-32-220(Medical) | § 15-78-120(Government)
This can all feel overwhelming and complex, and it often is. That is why hiring an attorney is helpful. When you hire a skilled accident lawyer, they manage everything from beginning to end so you can focus on recovery and receiving your settlement check.
When you need legal assistance, Armada Law is here—no upfront fees and a free case review available.
