Accident Information Center - Charleston, South Carolina

Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of brain and spinal cord injury in the United States. According to recent statistics, auto accidents currently account for approximately 60% of all traumatic brain injury cases. Motorcycle accidents claim responsibility for about 20% of transportation-related head injuries, and brain and spinal cord injuries occur to children most often when they are passengers in motor vehicles.

With the frequency of car accidents on the rise, and the nature of accident-related injuries growing more serious, car accidents are often the subject of personal injury lawsuits and wrongful death litigation. Current statistics reveal that fatal car crashes average 37,409 per year, with driver fatalities at 25,492 and auto passenger fatalities at 10,699. Most of these accidents are caused by simple driver error, many attributed to a lack of attention being paid to the road, traffic and surrounding conditions.

Common auto accident injuries include whiplash, head injuries, brain injuries, paralysis, joint injuries, bone injuries, and muscle injuries.  The most common costs are medical treatment, loss of wages, and loss of property.

South Carolina has a tort system for auto accidents so fault will be attributed to one or more of the drivers involved in the accident.  An attorney can help from the beginning to negotiate with the insurance companies, help you get a rental vehicle, monitor your medical progress, and ultimately get a recovery for you in the case.  In the event that the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured, an attorney can help you determine whether there are other policies or people you can look to in order to cover your damages.
