How Long Do You Have to File an Injury Claim in Pelion, SC?

South Carolina generally gives an injured person three years from the date of a crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, this deadline can shift depending on the specific circumstances involved. 

Missing this filing deadline typically bars victims from recovering compensation altogether, regardless of how strong their case might otherwise be. That makes it important for anyone hurt in a crash to keep track of the date early on, especially since gathering evidence and negotiating with an insurance company can take considerable time.

Additionally, it is important to understand that South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule, in which an injured person can recover damages as long as they're found less than 51% at fault for the crash.

When fault isn't yet known, a car accident lawyer can help someone track the applicable deadline while also working to establish what happened through the police report, witness accounts, and any other available evidence.
