Types of Personal Injury Claims
A personal injury claim can cover many types of injuries. The key to an injury claim, however, is that you were injured because another person was irresponsible with your safety. For example, another driver hitting you because they were texting may warrant a personal injury claim.
However, it’s not always clear when a personal injury claim is available. You may be considering a claim, but you’re not sure if your Greenwood case counts. Fortunately, an attorney can explain where your claim stands.
If you’re struggling in the wake of any of these injuries or others, reach out to an injury lawyer who serves Greenwood for help with your recovery:
- Motor vehicle accidents involving cars or motorcycles
- Commercial truck accidents
- Dog attacks
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Wrongful death of a loved one
South Carolina Laws to Watch For
Sadly, it takes more than knowing you have the opportunity to file to actually get your compensation. Instead, you’ll need to make sure you address the laws that could affect your claim. If you’re not careful, you could lose part or all your compensation.
For example, you’ll only have three years to file a claim for your injuries in Greenwood. If you fail to file your claim in time, your claim may be dismissed, leaving you without compensation for your losses.
You’ll also need to avoid taking the blame for the injuries, if possible. The responsible party will want to shift the blame to you, so they may claim you were partly responsible for your losses. If they succeed, in South Carolina, your compensation will be reduced by the amount you’re found at fault for. For example, accepting 15 percent of the blame means you’ll only receive 85 percent of the compensation.
