A personal injury case is a civil lawsuit allowing an injured person to seek financial compensation when someone else’s negligence or reckless actions cause harm. Our personal injury law firm in Charleston, SC, assists with the following types of claims:
Our Charleston car accident attorneys help those injured in car crashes recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage caused by negligent drivers.
Patients trust doctors, nurses, and hospitals to provide proper care, but mistakes can cause serious harm. When medical professionals fail to meet accepted standards, we take legal action to hold them accountable and seek compensation for those affected.
If unsafe property conditions cause an injury, we take legal action to hold the responsible parties accountable for harm from a slip and fall.
We handle catastrophic personal injury cases for those facing life-altering harm such as brain or spinal cord injuries and assist families seeking justice for wrongful death.

If you’ve been injured due to another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to several types of damages, including:
In some rare cases, you may be able to seek punitive damages. These are available in cases where the at-fault party’s actions were reckless or intentional and can only be awarded by a judge or jury.
South Carolina has strict statutes of limitations governing personal injury claims. In most cases, you must file a lawsuit three years from the accident date. Failing to take legal action within the allotted time frame can result in losing your right to seek compensation.

At Berly Rouse, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything upfront. Our firm covers the costs of building your case, and we only receive payment if we secure compensation for you. If your case isn’t successful, you owe nothing. This allows accident victims to pursue legal action without financial barriers.
The timeline for a personal injury case varies depending on its complexity, the extent of injuries, and whether a settlement can be reached outside of court. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others may take a year or more.
Insurance companies frequently start with low settlement offers to protect their bottom line. Accepting too soon can leave you without enough to cover medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses. A personal injury lawyer can assess the offer, determine if it reflects the full extent of your losses, and negotiate for a better outcome.
