Injured on Georgetown County Roads? Know Your Options

Georgetown County includes busy coastal corridors, residential communities, and rural roads connecting residents with nearby towns. U.S. Highway 17, U.S. Highway 701, and local routes carry commuters, commercial traffic, and visitors throughout the area. County transportation records identify Highway 17 as a significant crash corridor.

Collisions can involve unsafe turns, speeding, distracted driving or drivers not yielding. You can’t just assume who caused the crash. The circumstances must be examined to see who is responsible.

Kinon Law Firm focuses exclusively on personal injury representation. Injured clients receive personalized attention from attorney Chris Kinon, who helps them understand the claims process, review available evidence, and handle insurance-related challenges.

What Can Strengthen Your Georgetown County Accident Claim?

Evidence after an accident can be helpful to prove fault and record your damages. Depending on the circumstances, the type of evidence that may be useful may vary, but may include, for example, crash reports, pictures, statements of witnesses, medical records and assessments of vehicle damage.

If you were involved in a collision near Pawleys Island or Murrells Inlet, preserving information available about the location, traffic conditions, and sequence of events may be particularly useful.

According to the particulars of your situation, your insurance may be able to reimburse you for medical bills, lost wages, decreased earning capacity, pain and suffering and property damage. South Carolina has modified comparative negligence rules that may allow you to recover damages if your percentage of fault is not greater than the percentage of fault of the other party as may be applicable under the law. Any recovery may be reduced according to your percentage of fault.
