How Long Do You Have to Sue for Personal Injury?
In the State of South Carolina, injured accident victims only have 3 years from the date of their accident to file a claim. If your personal injury claim is against a government entity or officer, you only have 2 years from the date of the injury to file your claim.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
If you or a loved one suffered a serious injury, then a personal injury attorney can be an extremely valuable asset. Injuries may cause you to incur medical bills and may keep you from working – sometimes permanently. Settlements and jury verdicts can help provide compensation that pays for these expenses.
Attempting to take on an insurance company on your own is likely to be a pursuit in futility. An insurance company may not offer you compensation that adequately covers your damages. However, an experienced attorney can help you uncover and protect evidence as well as negotiate a settlement on your behalf. If it becomes necessary, an attorney can take your case before a jury and possibly secure a verdict that covers your damages.
Experienced personal injury attorneys know how to fight for your rights against an insurance company. The best part of all, is that it does not cost anything to speak to a personal injury attorney and most injury attorneys take cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not owe fees unless he or she recovers compensation.
