Common Injuries After a Vehicle Crash
Even a seemingly minor accident can result in serious injuries that require weeks or months of recovery. We help clients who have suffered:
- Head and brain injuries (concussions, TBI)
- Back and spinal cord damage
- Whiplash and neck trauma
- Broken bones and fractures

Don’t Let the Insurance Company Undervalue Your Case
Insurance adjusters often try to minimize what they pay out, even when their client is clearly at fault. They may offer a quick settlement that doesn’t account for your future needs, or they might deny your claim altogether.
When you work with The Solomon Law Group, LLC, you won’t have to worry about dealing with the insurance company. We’ll handle all communication, negotiate on your behalf, and make sure you aren’t taken advantage of.
If necessary, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court.
How Comparative Negligence Works in South Carolina
South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you’re found to be partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you could still recover $80,000. However, if you're 51% or more at fault, you won’t be eligible to recover any compensation. We’ll work to challenge any attempts to unfairly shift blame onto you.
