Law Office of Kenneth E. Berger

What is a personal injury claim?

You can file a personal injury claim when you or someone you care about was injured by another person or party due to no fault of your own. Some of the most common types of personal injury claims in South Carolina are motor vehicle accidents, boating accidents, work accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, defective products, and premises liability.

When should I contact a personal injury lawyer?

It’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible after your injury. In South Carolina the statute of limitations is typically 2 or 3 years, depending on who the defendant is, though you certainly should not wait that long to speak with a lawyer. We recommend speaking with a lawyer before giving a statement to the insurance adjuster to ensure your legal rights are protected.
