What Compensation Can You Recover After a Car Accident?

If you have suffered an accident due to the negligence of another party, you might be able to recover compensation for some of your losses, both financial and personal. Recoverable damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and future medical expenses, depending on your case. Property damage may also be addressed through an applicable insurance claim.

South Carolina uses a modified comparative negligence system. “Subject to applicable law”: If you are not at fault with a percentage greater than the other parties you may recover damages in general Any award may be reduced according to your share of responsibility.

The value of a claim depends on the injuries and supporting evidence, insurance coverage and other circumstances. No attorney can guarantee a particular settlement or outcome.

How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Claim in South Carolina?

In South Carolina, most personal injury claims for negligence must be filed within three years. But there are exceptions and special deadlines that may apply, including some claims against government entities or wrongful death.

Acting promptly can also help preserve photographs, witness statements, crash reports, and medical documentation. Speaking with an attorney early can help you identify the deadlines relevant to your situation.
