How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Liberty, SC?

In Liberty and throughout South Carolina, you generally have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit after a car accident. The filing period usually begins when you knew or reasonably should have known you had a claim.

However, certain circumstances can change the filing period. Someone who was under 18 when the claim arose may have additional time, while claims against a government agency can follow shorter deadlines and different procedures.

Because South Carolina follows an at-fault insurance system, the driver who caused the crash may be responsible for injury-related losses. That driver’s liability coverage is often a primary source of payment for another person’s damages.

After an injury, compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering. The amount available depends on the losses caused by the crash and the insurance coverage or other assets available.

When fault is disputed, police reports, photographs, video, and witness accounts can help establish how the crash occurred. Medical records and bills may also connect your treatment and related expenses to the injuries you are claiming.

Under South Carolina’s modified comparative fault rule, sharing responsibility does not always prevent recovery. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you generally cannot recover damages if you are more than 50 percent responsible.

Because deadlines can be difficult to track while you recover, a South Carolina car accident lawyer can review the crash date, identify the deadline that applies, and determine whether an exception could give you more time. An attorney can also prepare and file your lawsuit before the deadline.
