Injured in South Carolina?
Know your options.
InjuryXperts connects people injured in South Carolina with information about their legal options and independent attorneys who may contact you if you submit an inquiry.
South Carolina personal injury basics
South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule with a 51% bar, meaning a person found more than half responsible for an accident cannot recover damages. Most personal injury claims must generally be filed within three years of the date of injury, longer than the two-year window used in many other states.
This is general information only and not legal advice. An attorney can review the specific facts of your case and advise you on how these rules may apply.
