Can I Handle My Own Car Accident Claim in Spartanburg, SC?

Possibly, yes, you could handle your own claim, but it won’t get you the compensation you need – and deserve. 

There’s a chance you could handle a small claim on your own, for example, a simple scratch or two that only requires simple car repairs after a minor crash. 

But if you are injured, miss work, face major car repairs, have a totaled vehicle, or have medical bills piling up, hiring a car crash lawyer can make a big difference. 

Here’s why having an injury attorney like Armada Law’s experienced team on your side can help you get more money and stress less:

1. You Usually Get More Money
Insurance companies will try to pay you as little as possible. Without a lawyer, they’ll likely offer you a low amount that won’t cover everything. A good accident lawyer knows what your case is really worth, including future medical bills, lost work time, and pain and suffering. When a skilled injury attorney steps in, the insurance company takes your claim more seriously.

2. They Protect You from Insurance Tricks
Insurance adjusters know how to ask tricky questions that can impact your claim. They might record you or get you to say something that makes it sound like you were partly at fault. A lawyer handles all communication for you and makes sure nothing you say is used against you.

3. They Understand South Carolina Laws
South Carolina’s “51% rule” means if you are found mostly at fault (51% or more), you get nothing. Without a lawyer, it’s easy to say something that gives the insurance company a reason to blame you. A skilled accident attorney knows how to prove fault using evidence to keep your right to compensation safe.

4. They Know the True Value of Your Claim
You might think your claim only covers your current doctor bills, but in reality, it includes future treatment, lost income, and pain and suffering. Lawyers work with experts to find the full, long-term value so you don’t miss out on money.

5. They Save You Time and Stress
After a crash, your focus should be on healing. Dealing with paperwork, calls, and legal deadlines can be overwhelming. Your accident lawyer takes care of all of that while you focus on recovery. Time is crucial after a crash. The evidence can disappear and insurance companies can take advantage of delays. When you contact Armada Law, we can protect your rights and make your case stronger while you get better.

Overall, having a skilled auto accident attorney makes the process much easier. Talented legal teams like Armada Law will protect your rights, fight for a fair settlement, and take the stress off your shoulders.

Common Questions Auto Accident Victims Ask Us


​​What should I do right after a car accident in Spartanburg, SC?

If you’re in a crash, call 911 right away, as you must report any accident you are in. Make sure everyone involved is safe and seek medical help if needed. Take photos of the involved vehicles and the crash scene, then exchange contact and insurance information.

After your accident, reach out to Armada Law. Our Spartanburg car accident lawyers can walk you through what to do next and help protect your rights from the start.

How much does it cost to hire a Spartanburg car accident lawyer?

When you come to us with your case, you pay nothing up front†. At Armada Law, we work on a contingency fee, meaning we only get paid if we win money for you. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing (no fee unless we recover refers to attorney’s fees only).

Call us anytime for a free consultation. We’re available 24/7 by message so reach us book time to review your case.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in South Carolina?

Typically, you have three years from the date of the crash to file a claim in South Carolina.
The sooner you start, the better. Contact Armada Law in Spartanburg right away so we can begin building your case.

What compensation can I recover after a car accident?

Depending on your situation, you may be able to get compensated for:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Car repairs or replacement
  • Future medical treatment

Our Spartanburg car accident attorneys review every detail to make sure you get the full amount you deserve.

Should I talk to my insurance company before hiring a lawyer?

It’s best to talk to a lawyer first. Insurance companies may try to settle for less than your case is worth. When you choose Armada Law, we’ll handle all insurance communication, so you don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing.

Should I speak with the other driver’s insurance company?

No. The other driver’s insurance company works for them, not you, and they may try to use your words against you. Let Armada Law handle all contact with insurance adjusters while you focus on recovering.

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

Even if the other driver does not have insurance, you may still have coverage. South Carolina law requires Uninsured Motorist (UM) and Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage.

  • UM helps if the other driver has no insurance.
  • UIM helps if they don’t have enough coverage.

When you contact us, our team will review your policy to understand your coverage and help you receive the amount you deserve.

Can I still get money if I was partly at fault?

In South Carolina, you can still receive compensation if you were less than 51% at fault for the accident. To determine your responsibility, our Spartanburg auto accident attorneys will gather evidence, show the other driver’s fault, and push for the highest possible settlement.

When will I get my settlement check after my Spartanburg accident?

Most clients receive their settlement check within four to eight weeks after the agreement is finalized. This timeframe allows for all paperwork and the release of the payment to be processed.

How long will my car accident case take?

Each case is different. Some car accident settlements are complete within a few months, while others take longer if they go to court. At Armada Law, we’ll work efficiently and keep you updated every step of the way.
