What Counts as a Personal Injury Case?

Personal injury law covers any situation where someone else’s negligence, carelessness, or intentional act caused you physical or emotional harm. If another party failed to act with reasonable care and that failure hurt you, you may have a claim—whether the at-fault party was a driver, property owner, manufacturer, or medical provider.

Questions, answered

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, or could have reasonably been prevented, you likely have a claim worth discussing. A free consultation with our team costs nothing and puts no obligation on you.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in South Carolina?

South Carolina generally gives you three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, though some claims (such as those against a government entity) carry shorter deadlines. Acting quickly protects evidence and witness memory.

What if I was partly at fault for my accident?

South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule: you can still recover compensation as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Do I have to go to court?

Most personal injury cases settle without a trial, but Berly Rouse prepares every case as though it will go before a judge, so you’re never at a disadvantage if the other side won’t offer a fair settlement.
