Being injured at work is hard enough, but having to navigate the South Carolina workers' compensation system without an attorney can be even more challenging. Many of my workers' comp clients initially try to handle the case on their own. It shouldn't be that complicated, right? Unfortunately, our state's workers' compensation laws are complex and nuanced. Likewise, insurance companies often deny necessary medical tests or underpay you for time missed from work if you don't have an attorney.

Few people in Columbia or anywhere else in South Carolina live their entire lives without ever being involved in an auto accident. In fact, the car insurance industry estimates that the average driver gets into a wreck every 17.9 years. That means many people are involved in three or four crashes in their lifetimes.

If your loved one has been harmed, or has died, as a result of the negligence or recklessness of a nursing center, I will seek to help you in your search for answers and justice. There are all too many situations where under staffing, poor training, and a lack of supervision can result in serious injuries.

South Carolina’s personal injury laws are designed to place you back in the position you enjoyed prior to being hurt. If you have been seriously harmed due to someone else’s wrongdoing, you may recover damages (i.e. money) for medical expenses, lost wages, mental anguish, lost enjoyment of life, future expenses, and a number of other harms. As a Columbia accident attorney handling cases across our state, I am here to help victims of negligence, recklessness, and abuse.
