What South Carolina's Personal Injury Laws Mean for Your Claim

Under S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530, most personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the date of injury. Missing that deadline can permanently bar your right to recover, regardless of how strong your case may be.


South Carolina also follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If your share of fault does not exceed 50 percent, you may still recover compensation, reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault. Insurance adjusters often try to push your fault percentage higher to reduce what they owe. An experienced personal injury lawyer can challenge those tactics and protect your full recovery.



Compensation in a successful claim may include medical expenses (including future care), lost wages and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage.

How We Build Your Personal Injury Case

A strong case requires prompt action. Salley Law Firm, P.A. typically begins with a free consultation to review the facts and explain your legal options, then gathers accident reports, medical records, photographs, and witness statements. We evaluate fault under SC negligence rules, negotiate with insurers to pursue a fair settlement, and litigate in Lexington County or the appropriate South Carolina court if needed.



We handle all communication with insurance companies so you can focus on healing.
