Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I was hit by a drunk driver?
Call police, seek medical care, and contact an attorney immediately.
Can I still recover compensation if the driver has no insurance?
Possibly. You may have options such as uninsured motorist coverage or third-party liability, such as a bar or restaurant that illegally served alcohol.
How long do I have to file a claim in South Carolina?
You generally have three years in South Carolina to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim. However, this time limit could be much shorter in a number of situations. Once the applicable statutory time limit to bring a claim expires, you will not be able to pursue a case. It is always advisable to talk to a knowledgeable and experienced drunk driving accident attorney in South Carolina as soon as possible, so that evidence can be preserved and the accurate statute of limitations can be determined.
