Compensation You Can Recover After the Wreck
You are entitled to hold the at-fault driver financially accountable for the financial consequences you experience because of his negligence. To ensure your right to seek damages, we prove the at-fault driver’s negligence.
The four legal components of negligence we prove include:
- Duty
- Breach
- Causation
- Damages
The investigation we conduct will uncover evidence that establishes these elements for you. Once established, we help you prove the financial value of your recoverable damages.
Economic Damages
You can recover two types of damages after a car accident in Spartanburg County. The first type—economic damages—are the ones that come with bills, receipts, and estimates that establish their value.
These include:
- Current and future medical bills
- Current and future lost wages
- Property damage or destruction (e.g., a totaled vehicle)
We do not burden you with evidence collection. Instead, our team handles it for you and ensures the evidence we compile is thorough and organized. It will include medical records and bills, income statements, and car repair estimates or replacement values. If you suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), a brain injury lawyer from our team will help prove the extent of your injuries.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are the second type of damages you can collect after your wreck. Our car accident attorney will explain how we use your written prognosis and other evidence to prove their value.
Non-economic damages you can recover include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Mental anguish
- Lost enjoyment of life
These damages are more difficult to assign a value to on your own. With our guidance and support, you can ensure they are accurately documented and valued.
Ensure Compliance With South Carolina’s Statute of Limitations
S.C. Ann § 15-3-530 generally gives you up to three years from the date of your car wreck to file your personal injury lawsuit. It also gives you up to three years from the date of your loved one’s passing to file your wrongful death lawsuit.
We use your car accident report, medical records, and a loved one’s death certificate to establish the correct filing date. We also explain any factors that may alter the state’s filing deadline.
Complying with the statute of limitations is as important to building your case as evidence collection and other methods of proving fault. If you wait too long to file your potential lawsuit:
- You will not be allowed to file your personal injury lawsuit at all.
- It will be dismissed immediately without the opportunity to be heard.
- You will have no remaining legal avenues to compel compensation.
Our car accident lawyers at Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC serving injured clients in Spartanburg County will ensure your case is filed on time and preserve your right to seek compensation in court, if necessary.
Our Car Accident Practice Areas
Our personal injury attorneys help clients who were injured in many different types of car wrecks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) cites the following types of common wrecks:
- Head-on
- Rear-end
- Side-impact
- Multi-vehicle
- Rollover
When you review your case with one of our team members, we will use your car accident report, witness statements, and the points of impact on both involved vehicles to prove the type of wreck you were involved in and its cause.
We Must Prove Liability to Recover Compensation
Proving liability in a car accident is crucial for determining who is at fault and responsible for the damages incurred. This process involves the collection of evidence, analysis of the accident circumstances, and the application of legal principles to establish fault. Examples of negligence that may indicate liability include:
- Violating traffic laws, such as running a red light or speeding, which directly leads to an accident.
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, impairing the driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely.
- Distracted driving, including using a mobile phone while driving, which reduces a driver’s attention on the road.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, potentially liable parties include:
- The other driver could be liable for any negligence that caused or contributed to your accident.
- Employers can be held responsible if the accident involved a driver who was working at the time.
- Vehicle manufacturers can be responsible if a vehicle defect contributed to the accident.
- Government entities can be held liable for accidents caused by negligent maintenance of roads.
Steps We Take to Prove Your Right to Recover Damages
Our car wreck team understands how time-consuming and difficult it can be to prove the cause and cost of your wreck. To streamline the compensation recovery process for you, we will:
- Clarify your compensation options
- Conduct a thorough investigation
- Assign a financial value to your case
- Compile evidence and paperwork
- Locate and interview witnesses
- Update you as your case progresses
- Negotiate an appropriate settlement
- Represent you in court, if needed
We will also represent you on a contingency-fee basis, so you do not pay anything until we win compensation for you. Instead, we receive a percentage of your settlement or verdict.
