Personal Injury FAQ in Charleston
When Can I File a Personal Injury Claim?
Because injuries can occur in so many different ways, not every single
injury has grounds for a personal injury claim. The key element to having
grounds to litigate after an injury is negligence. Careless or negligent
behavior must have been the cause of the injury for it to be possible
to win compensation.
The concept behind this is that someone else's behavior was to blame
for an injury that you would not have suffered otherwise. For example,
a person taking too much of a prescribed medication and getting sick because
of it is not able to win compensation. However, if a doctor gave an incorrect
prescription to the patient and told them to take too much medication
and they were hurt as a result, this could be grounds for a personal injury case.
Can I Receive Compensation?
It depends. If you have a case that we think we can win, we will most likely
take it. Because we are confident that we can win the cases we choose
to pursue, there is a strong chance that we can win you compensation for
your injury. However, if we are not able to win financial recovery for
you, you will not be required to pay anything.

contingency fee policy.
What Will the Awarded Compensation Cover?
In general, compensation is intended to cover all medical expenses that
were incurred while treating your injury, any wages or anticipated wages
that were lost due to recovery time, and pain and suffering that occurred
because of the injury. In cases that include wrongful death, this compensation
can go toward funeral and burial expenses, loss of enjoyment of life,
lost financial security, and loss of companionship. Depending on the specifics
of your case, there may be other damages that compensation is awarded
for as well.
How Much Do You Charge?
This depends largely on the scale of your case. We do not have a flat fee
that applies to all clients, but rather we design a specific plan around
each unique case. For a more accurate quote, it is recommended that you
fill out a
free case evaluation and provide us with as many details as possible. Request that you would
like to know more about how much we would charge for your specific situation
and we will give you a quote. Remember, what we do charge you only comes
out of the awarded sum of compensation,
nothing comes out of pocket. If you'd like to speak to us directly and get your answer sooner,
