What Should You Know About Injury Claims After a Crash in Andrews, SC?

After a car accident in South Carolina, an injured person may be able to seek compensation when another driver's careless or reckless actions caused the crash.

A claim may cover medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses connected to the injuries. The amount that may be recovered depends on the facts of the accident and the losses involved.

The first thing to know when it comes to a claim is that South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means an injured person may still recover damages if they are not more than 50% responsible for the accident. However, their compensation is reduced by their share of the fault. 

For example, if someone is found 20% responsible for a crash and has $50,000 in damages, the potential recovery could be reduced to $40,000. If the injured person is found more than 50% responsible, they generally cannot recover damages from another party. 

Because of this rule, evidence that shows how the crash happened can make a major difference. Photos of the vehicles and roadway, witness statements, medical records, traffic-camera footage, and the official crash report may help show which driver's actions caused the collision. 

When fault is disputed, a car accident lawyer can review the available evidence and speak with insurance companies on the injured person's behalf. This can help determine whether another driver may be responsible and how South Carolina's fault rules could affect the claim.
