Solomon Law SC

Wrongful Death Lawyer Greenville, SC

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is one of the most difficult challenges a family can face. When that loss results from someone else’s careless or intentional actions, the grief can be compounded by frustration and a desire for justice. In Greenville, SC, wrongful death claims help surviving families hold negligent parties accountable and recover the compensation they need to move forward.

Although The Solomon Law Group, LLC is based in Columbia, we proudly represent families throughout South Carolina, including in Greenville. Our compassionate and experienced wrongful death lawyers are committed to seeking justice for grieving families and holding wrongdoers responsible for the pain they’ve caused.

What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim is a civil legal action that allows surviving family members to seek compensation when a person dies due to the wrongful or negligent actions of another. Under South Carolina law, these claims are brought by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate and are meant to benefit close relatives, including spouses, children, and sometimes parents.

Wrongful death can result from a wide range of incidents, including:

  • Car and truck accidents caused by reckless drivers
  • Medical malpractice, including surgical errors or misdiagnoses
  • Nursing home abuse or neglect
  • Workplace accidents or construction-related fatalities
  • Defective products or dangerous consumer goods
  • Criminal activity or negligent security

Every case is unique. At The Solomon Law Group, we take time to understand your loved one’s story and build a case that reflects the full impact of your loss.

Proving a Wrongful Death Case in Greenville

To recover compensation, your wrongful death lawyer must prove that the death was caused by negligence or a wrongful act. This involves four key legal elements:

  1. Duty of Care – The defendant owed the deceased a legal obligation to act safely or responsibly.

  2. Breach of Duty – That duty was violated by a reckless action, failure to act, or intentional misconduct.

  3. Causation – The breach directly caused the fatal injuries.

  4. Damages – The family suffered measurable losses as a result of the death.

For example, if a distracted driver caused a fatal crash on I-385 or Wade Hampton Boulevard, the driver could be held liable for breaching their duty to operate a vehicle safely.

What Types of Compensation Can Families Recover?

Financial compensation in a wrongful death case can help ease the burden of loss. In Greenville, families may be eligible to recover:

  • Medical bills from emergency care or hospitalization
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Lost financial support and income the deceased would have provided
  • Loss of companionship, care, and guidance
  • Mental anguish and emotional suffering
  • Loss of household services and support

In cases of extreme recklessness—such as DUI or intentional harm—punitive damages may be awarded to punish the responsible party and deter similar conduct in the future.
