Local context

South Carolina legal overview

South Carolina operates under modified comparative fault. A claimant who is 51 percent or more to blame may find many injury claims shut down. Beach tourism and heavy traffic along I-26 and I-85 account for a large share of the caseload.

In most instances, injury suits must be started within three years. Suits involving government agencies can carry tighter timelines. Speak with a South Carolina attorney to confirm the deadline that applies to you.

Matters that commonly surface in South Carolina case reviews

  • 01

    Tourist-area collisions and premises

    Files in Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and Hilton Head often involve visitors, rental cars, and hotel or restaurant premises. Those defendants can be difficult to locate once they leave the state.

  • 02

    Upstate interstates

    Greenville and the I-85 corridor generate commuter and truck crashes. Columbia sits where I-26 and I-20 meet. Fault disputes frequently begin with speed and lookout.

  • 03

    Notice for government claims

    Government claims may demand faster notice than the three-year injury window. We do not file in South Carolina circuit court.
