Highway Collisions to Serious Negligence Claims

  • Car accidents: Crashes caused by distracted driving, speeding, unsafe turns, or failure to yield.
  • Truck accidents: Collisions involving commercial vehicles that may require investigating driver conduct, company practices, and maintenance records.
  • Motorcycle accidents: Injuries caused by drivers who overlook riders or make dangerous maneuvers.
  • Drunk driving accidents: Claims involving impaired motorists and potentially other responsible parties under South Carolina law.
  • Catastrophic injuries: Brain trauma, spinal cord damage, paralysis, and severe burns that can require long-term care.
  • Medical malpractice: Injuries resulting from negligent medical treatment.
  • Nursing home neglect: Harm caused by inadequate supervision, unsafe conditions, or improper care.
  • Premises liability: Injuries resulting from dangerous property conditions, including slip-and-fall accidents.
  • Tourist injuries: Accidents at hotels, resorts, restaurants, pools, and other Grand Strand destinations.
  • Wrongful death: Claims brought by eligible parties after a loved one dies because of another person’s negligence.

Georgetown County Roads In Need Of Extra Attention

Local residents and visitors use Georgetown County’s highways for work, businesses, beaches and neighboring communities. Busy intersections, vehicles turning and different speeds can result in serious collisions.

U.S. Highway 17 From Georgetown to Pawleys Island

U.S. Highway 17 is a major north-south corridor serving Georgetown, Pawleys Island, and nearby coastal communities. Commercial traffic, tourist travel, and vehicles entering businesses can create challenging conditions. The intersection of U.S. 17 and S.C. Highway 707 is one location identified in county crash reporting. Rear-end collisions, unsafe turns, and failure to yield can cause serious injuries.

U.S. Highway 701 Around Georgetown

U.S. Highway 701 connects Georgetown with inland communities and carries local and commercial traffic. Drivers should remain alert near intersections, access roads, and turning vehicles, particularly when sharing the road with large trucks and motorcycles.

U.S. Highway 521 and Highmarket Street

U.S. Highway 521, including Highmarket Street in Georgetown, serves local traffic traveling through the city and surrounding areas. Drivers not paying attention, or misjudging other vehicles coming toward them, can encounter hazards at busy intersections and when traffic patterns change.

Just because a road is mentioned on a crash report doesn’t mean every part of it is dangerous. When an accident happens, taking a look at the exact location, the state of the road, the witnesses and the evidence present can help to establish what happened.

What Can Influence Your Personal Injury Settlement?

Compensation is different with injuries, evidence, insurance and law. A claim can include medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering. At Kinon Law Firm, we investigate the facts of each case and try to understand how an injury affects a client’s life.

Chris Kinon’s website emphasizes his experience with complex injury litigation and securing large verdicts and settlements. Each case is different and past performance is no indication of future performance.

Georgetown County Personal Injury FAQs

Do I need to wait until my treatment ends to contact an attorney?

No. Seeking legal guidance early can help preserve evidence and clarify important deadlines while you continue receiving medical care.

What if my accident involved more than one potentially responsible party?

Multiple parties may share responsibility, depending on the evidence. An investigation can help identify potential defendants and available insurance coverage.

Can a visitor injured in Pawleys Island pursue a claim in South Carolina?

Potentially, yes. Visitors injured in South Carolina may have legal options under state law, even if they live elsewhere.
