It is a simple truth that the potential for litigation, and ultimately trial, is the primary force that drives settlement value and holds profit-motivated insurance companies accountable. This is an unavoidable reality not just accepted, but embraced, by SC Injury Law. We understand that while most clients would prefer to avoid litigation whenever favorable resolution can be negotiated (and the vast majority of cases settle), we are also prepared to go the distance should insurance companies attempt to unfairly exert their extensive resources in negotiations. It is through this reputation and dedication that SC Injury Law’s approach helps to reduce the possibility of prolonged litigation without compromising the client’s recovery.
In the courtroom, every case depends on the ability to present clear, well-substantiated arguments backed by admissible evidence and sound legal precedent. SC Injury Law approaches each matter with meticulous trial preparation - structuring and solidifying every legal argument to withstand cross-examination, judicial scrutiny, and potential appellate review. With a sharp focus on precision and strategy and the resources and experience to apply it, every case is built to meet the highest legal standards and designed to minimize uncertainty.
The art of persuasion is rooted in credibility, consistency, and simplicity. Billy learned early in his professional career that power flows to the most reasonable voice in the room - which is a principle applied by SC Injury Law at every stage of civil advocacy.

South Carolina's injury statistics aren't just high - they're unacceptable. Tens of thousands of
workplace injuries and unsafe driving incidents each year show a dangerous lack of oversight
and responsibility. The staggering number of wrongful death occurrences is a wake-up call. At
SC Injury Law, we don't cower or compromise client interests to lowball settlement offers by the
insurance industry – we investigate, litigate, and hold the responsible parties accountable for the
harm they cause.
Many cases settle out of the court but, if a fair settlement isn't reached, litigation may be necessary.
South Carolina follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning compensation may still be
available if the deceased was 50% or less at fault.
In South Carolina, the statute of limitations against most people and businesses is three years
from the date of death and two years against most governmental and charitable entities.
Damages may include medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, loss of companionship, and
pain and suffering. Survival damages can also be recovered to compensate for any physical and
mental suffering of the deceased.
The personal representative of the deceased's estate can file the claim, typically on behalf of
surviving family members such as the spouse, children, or parents. An experienced lawyer can
help get a personal representative appointed and determine the estate beneficiaries.
