Were you or a loved one injured because of someone else’s negligence? If you were, you could have the basis of a personal injury case. The compensation we can request for you includes coverage of treatment-related medical care, income loss, pain and suffering, and property damage or loss.
When our Greer personal injury lawyer represents you, you get the power of our entire Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC team on your side. We will prove the identity of the at-fault party and compile the evidence that proves their liability.
We will also organize your evidence and submit it to the at-fault party’s insurance representatives or present it at trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Examples of Recoverable Damages Victims Pursue for Personal Injuries
Recovering damages in a personal injury case is complex and can involve a myriad of paperwork and documentation. Our law firm handles this for you by contacting every entity that might have a piece of supportive evidence. This may include:
- Your employer for copies of your salary history
- All medical facilities for copies of records and bills
- Your mechanic for copies of vehicle repair estimates
- Your car accident report to prove cause and liability
We collect evidence on your behalf so you can focus on getting better. We also handle the organization, preservation, and submission of your evidence. In addition, we make sure you have a positive and supportive in-office experience with every member of our team.
Economic Damages
After an accident, you are entitled to economic damages. These are the expenses to which you can attach a fixed value. When we represent you, we help you request the following economic damages:
- Current and future medical bills
- Current and future income loss
- Property damage or destruction
- Treatment-related travel expenses
- In-home medical and domestic help
Our personal injury attorneys make sure the overall value we assign to your case is accurate with careful and thorough calculations. We also make sure their value is accurate by helping you avoid a speedy but flawed settlement offer that is made before all bills and documents are available.
Non-Economic Damages
The non-economic damages we request for you are harder to quantify and, on your own, can be difficult to assign a value. We use your current medical records and written prognosis to assign a value to your:
- Physical disability
- Physical disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Emotional distress
We will help you prove the physical and emotional trauma you have and will experience. In addition, we will also help you collect documents, including mental and physical health care records.
Protect Your Right to Take Legal Action
When we manage your personal injury case, we fight hard to negotiate a settlement for you. In most cases, your lawsuit will be resolved this way. However, in rare instances, we may have to go to court to get the settlement you are entitled to for the at-fault party’s negligence. To protect your right to do so, we make sure your case is filed in compliance with the statute of limitations.
In South Carolina, the personal injury and wrongful death statutes of limitations are generally three years, according to S.C. Ann § 15-3-530. If you or a loved one was injured, the personal injury statutory clock starts ticking on the date the accident occurred. If a loved one was an accident fatality, the wrongful death statutory clock starts ticking on the date of your loved one’s demise.
