South Carolina law allows injured individuals to seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term care. We offer free consultations for all personal injury cases—and you won’t pay us unless we recover compensation on your behalf.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are exposed to risks that other drivers simply aren’t. If you were hit while riding, we’ll work to ensure your rights are protected and that your recovery reflects the seriousness of your injuries.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Injuries to the spine can change a life in seconds. We help clients facing paralysis or long-term mobility issues fight for the resources they need for rehabilitation and future care.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Whether it’s a slick floor in a store or broken steps in an apartment complex, unsafe property conditions can cause serious harm. We investigate liability and pursue premises liability claims for those injured on another’s property.
Brain Injuries
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) may not be visible—but its effects can be devastating. From cognitive challenges to personality changes, we help TBI victims pursue justice for the lasting impact on their lives.
Daycare Injuries
Parents trust daycare providers with their most valuable treasures. When that trust is broken—through negligent supervision, unsafe environments, or abuse—we help families hold facilities accountable.
Animal Bites
South Carolina law holds pet owners responsible when their animals bite or attack. If you or your child was injured by a dog or other animal, we can help evaluate your case and pursue a claim.
Truck Accidents
Accidents involving 18-wheelers and commercial trucks often lead to catastrophic injuries—and complex legal claims. We go up against trucking companies and insurers to protect your rights and uncover negligence.
Uber or Lyft Accidents
Rideshare accidents come with layers of legal complexity. Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or another motorist, we’ll help you understand insurance coverage and liability in these unique cases.
Wrongful Death
The loss of a loved one due to someone else’s actions is devastating. While no lawsuit can bring them back, a wrongful death claim can help ease the financial burden and honor their memory through justice.
Automobile Accidents
From minor collisions to major crashes, car accidents remain one of the most common causes of injury. We help clients in Greenville navigate insurance claims, medical bills, and recovery with clarity and confidence.
Pedestrian Accidents
When a driver’s carelessness harms someone on foot, the consequences can be severe. We fight for injured pedestrians to receive the compensation they need and deserve.
Dram Shop / Drunk Driving Victims
Bars, restaurants, and other establishments that overserve alcohol to visibly intoxicated patrons may share responsibility for DUI-related injuries. We handle complex DRAM shop cases and fight for full accountability.
