South Carolina Personal Injury Law and Your Rights
According to the National Safety Council, approximately 63 million people sought medical care for preventable injuries in the U.S. in 2022. Many of these incidents involved negligence—actions that could have been avoided if someone had upheld their duty of care.
South Carolina law gives injury victims the right to seek compensation for damages related to another person or company’s negligence. A personal injury claim can recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
To pursue a valid claim, it’s important to understand the rules that apply in your case. For instance, South Carolina follows a statute of limitations of three years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline could result in losing your right to file a lawsuit.
