FAQs

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgetown, SC?

You typically have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, if your injury involved government property (like a city vehicle or a slip on municipal grounds), you may have a shorter notice period. Act quickly so we can protect your claim.

Can I still win my case if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Yes. South Carolina’s modified comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages if you’re less than 51% at fault. If you were 30% responsible for a car accident near Highway 701, for example, your compensation would be reduced by that percentage. We work to lower your share of liability and maximize your results.

Do I need to pay upfront for a personal injury lawyer in Georgetown?

No. Berly Rouse works on a contingency fee basis—which means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, so there’s no financial risk to getting the legal help you need.

What types of compensation can I recover in a Georgetown personal injury claim?

Depending on your case, you may be able to recover compensation for:

  • Medical bills (hospital stays, surgery, rehab, prescriptions)
  • Lost wages and future earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Punitive damages (in cases involving gross negligence)

We tailor our legal strategy to seek the maximum amount available under South Carolina law.

Will my case go to court in Georgetown County?

Not all cases go to trial. Many are resolved through out-of-court settlements. However, if the other side refuses to negotiate fairly, we are prepared to file in Georgetown County Circuit Court and take your case to a judge or jury. We prepare every claim as if it could go to court to maintain leverage.

How long will my Georgetown injury case take to resolve?

Timelines vary based on the severity of your injuries, the complexity of the case, and whether litigation is necessary. Some cases resolve in a few months; others may take a year or more. Our team works efficiently to keep your case moving while prioritizing the best outcome.

What should I do immediately after an accident in Georgetown?
  1. Seek medical care at a facility like Tidelands Georgetown Memorial Hospital.
  2. Report the incident to authorities or property management.
  3. Document everything, including photos and witness information.
  4. Avoid speaking to insurers until you consult an attorney.
Can I sue for injuries that occurred on private property or rental homes?
  1. Yes. If you were injured due to unsafe conditions—such as broken stairs, faulty wiring, or slippery walkways—at a rental, business, or private home, you may have a premises liability claim. We’ll investigate and hold the property owner or manager accountable.
