Car Accidents All Over the Grand Strand

There’s a mix of local commuters, commercial vehicles, and visitors heading to coastal destinations in Horry County. U.S. Highway 501 and U.S. Highway 17 are major roads connecting communities throughout the region. Traffic can be especially heavy near Myrtle Beach attractions and shopping areas during peak travel times.

Collisions can occur due to heavy traffic, sudden stops, distracted driving and unfamiliarity with the local roads. Regardless of where an accident occurs, liability will be based on the particular facts and evidence.

Kinon Law Firm concentrates on personal injury cases. When you come to us you will get one-on-one attention and direct communication to help you navigate the pitfalls that can follow a serious accident.

Every collision does not result in a personal injury claim. However, when negligence causes injuries, the consequences may include medical expenses, missed work, ongoing treatment, and physical pain.

Depending on your circumstances, a claim may involve investigating the crash, reviewing available insurance coverage, collecting medical documentation, and negotiating with insurers. If a fair resolution cannot be reached, litigation may be necessary.

South Carolina has adopted the modified comparative negligence rule. Generally, an injured person can recover damages if the injured person’s percentage of fault is not greater than the fault of the other party, subject to applicable legal requirements. Any recovery may be reduced according to the injured person’s percentage of fault.

Frequently Asked Questions About Horry County Car Accidents

What should I do after a car accident in Myrtle Beach?

Seek medical attention, contact law enforcement when appropriate, exchange information, and photograph the scene if it is safe. Maintain insurance related correspondence and medical records. Before accepting a settlement, make sure you understand the potential impact on your ability to seek further compensation.

Can I file a claim if I was visiting Myrtle Beach?

Yes. Visitors injured in a South Carolina car accident may have a claim if another party’s negligence caused their injuries. You do not necessarily need to live in South Carolina to pursue compensation. An attorney can explain how the claim may be handled if you live out of state.

What if my accident happened on Highway 501 or Highway 17?

If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be able to pursue a claim. The investigation may examine driver behavior, vehicle damage, witness accounts, and other available evidence to establish responsibility.

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Horry County?

Most South Carolina personal injury claims alleging negligence have a three year statute of limitations. There may be exceptions and special deadline requirements, so confirm the applicable deadline as soon as possible.

How much does a car accident lawyer cost?

Ask Kinon Law Firm about its consultation process and fee arrangement. Before hiring an attorney, clarify how legal fees and case expenses are handled.
