In personal injury cases across South Carolina, securing fair compensation is not just about proving fault. It’s about applying proven legal strategies, understanding insurance companies tactics, and anticipating challenges before they arise. At Ted Law Firm, we’ve spent years helping injured victims in South Carolina pursue the compensation they truly deserve.
Whether it’s motor vehicle accidents, Motorcycle accidents, or Truck Accident claims in South Carolina law, our strategies focus on maximizing value for every case.
1. Early and Thorough Investigation
Every claim begins with the basics: getting accident reports, collecting video footage, compiling witness statements, and preserving digital evidence. This is critical in rideshare accidents, slip and fall cases, and wrongful death claims.
2. Accurate Valuation of Damages
A lawyer’s job is to pursue non-economic damages, medical expenses, lost wages, conscious pain and suffering, and life quality claims. We account for:
- medical bills
- future earning capacity diminishment
- adaptive equipment
- medical cost inflation
3. Medical Documentation and Compliance
We work directly with medical professionals to ensure every medical record supports your injury. Whether it’s for medical malpractice, traumatic brain injuries, or spinal cord injuries, compliance with treatment helps prove your case.
We often seek a Second Medical Opinion to strengthen your claim.
4. Identifying All Liable Parties
In many cases involving Third-Party Liability, we identify not just the obvious at-fault driver, but additional liable parties. Especially in commercial construction disputes, semi-truck collisions or Boating accidents, more parties can mean more insurance policies and liability coverage.
5. Navigating Insurance Coverage and Policy Limits
We dig into insurance claims, insurance policies, and insurance negotiations to understand how much money is really available. Many clients don’t realize the full value hidden in workers compensation claims, disability benefits, or South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission benefits.
6. Demand Letters and Negotiations
A well-drafted demand letter with documentation including expert testimonies, economic experts, and damage control puts pressure on insurance companies. If they refuse fair offers, we initiate settlement discussions.
7. Use of Expert Witnesses
From accident reconstruction reports to psychological trauma evaluations psychological trauma evaluations, we bring in the right expert witnesses to build your case. For Nursing home abuse, Repetitive Strain Injuries, or Dangerous drugs & supplements cases, their opinions can be crucial.
8. Litigation and Trial Preparation
We never hesitate to challenge insurance companies in court. Whether it’s a probate court hearing in a wrongful death case or confronting the South Carolina Supreme Court over procedural matters, we’re prepared.
9. Comparative Negligence and Duty of Care
Comparative negligence can reduce your claim if you share fault. South Carolina’s version of this rule makes it vital to show how the other party breached their duty of care. In wet floor, negligent maintenance, and slip and fall claims, this is a central issue.
10. Respecting the Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations and statutes of limitations are strict in South Carolina. Using the discovery rule, we determine the right window to file based on when the injury was known or reasonably should have been known.
11. Structuring Settlements Properly
We navigate complex settlement process factors, including potential conflicts with vocational rehabilitation, permanent disability, and family relationships. We also avoid settlement structures that could interfere with public aid or involve contingency fee complications.
12. Using All Legal Tools
South Carolina personal injury lawyers leverage tools like:
- claim process analysis
- contingency basis representation
- Filing under Tort Claims Act for government-related cases
- First Report of Injury in workers compensation
- Targeted actions for independent contractors, carpal tunnel syndrome, or adaptive equipment
