FAQs

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

You usually have three years to file, though some claims, like those involving medical malpractice or a government entity, carry shorter deadlines.

What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

South Carolina’s modified comparative negligence rule lets you recover compensation as long as you were 50% or less at fault, with your payout reduced by your share of the blame.

How much does hiring a personal injury attorney cost?

There’s no upfront cost. Berly Rouse works on a contingency fee basis, so you only pay if we recover compensation for you. Learn more in our guide to personal injury lawyer fees in South Carolina.
