A car crash can happen in seconds, but the consequences can last a lifetime. Whether you were hit on Main Street, rear-ended near I-26, or sideswiped on Bacons Bridge Road, you may be dealing with pain, medical bills, and insurance headaches.
At Ted Law Firm, we help car accident victims in Summerville, Ladson, Knightsville, and throughout Dorchester, Berkeley, and Charleston Counties recover the compensation they need. Let us handle the legal side while you focus on getting better.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
Most car crashes happen because a driver made a careless decision behind the wheel.
We handle accident cases involving:
- Distracted driving (texting, GPS, phone use)
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Drunk or drug-impaired drivers
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Unsafe lane changes or turns
- Rear-end collisions in traffic or at lights
No matter how the crash occurred, we’ll investigate thoroughly and fight to prove fault.
Common Car Accident Injuries
Even low-speed crashes can result in painful and long-lasting injuries.
We represent clients with:
- Whiplash and neck injuries
- Back and spinal cord damage
- Concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal organ injuries or bleeding
- Emotional trauma and anxiety
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death cases)
We work with medical providers to document your injuries and make sure your claim reflects their full impact.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If someone else caused your crash, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency care and medical treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress or PTSD
- Ongoing physical therapy or care
- Property damage (vehicle repair or replacement)
- Funeral costs (in fatal crash cases)
We handle every part of your claim from investigation to negotiations to trial, if needed.
What If the Insurance Company Blames You?
South Carolina uses a modified comparative fault rule:
- You can still recover compensation if you’re less than 51% at fault
- Your total compensation is reduced by your share of responsibility
We push back against blame-shifting and lowball offers. We fight to make sure your claim is based on facts—not insurance company tactics.
