Florence, SC (August 7, 2026) – One person was killed early Friday, August 7, after a two-car crash on Pamplico Highway near Cascade Avenue in Florence.
The collision occurred along the 2000 block of Pamplico Highway. Officers went to the crash, and a fatal accident investigation team began examining what caused the wreck.
People traveling through the area said the damage appeared consistent with a serious collision. Debris was scattered along the road, and one vehicle appeared to have been struck head-on.
The South Carolina Police continue to investigate this wreck.
Our condolences go out to the victim's loved ones.
South Carolina law allows a wrongful-death action when a person's death results from another party's wrongful act, neglect, or default. The action is brought for the benefit of the deceased person's spouse and children, or other specified relatives when those beneficiaries do not exist. The state's statute of limitations generally gives families three years from the person's death to bring a wrongful-death action.
Financial recovery can address losses caused by the death rather than simply the circumstances of the fatal crash. Depending on the facts, a wrongful-death claim may seek damages associated with the deceased person's financial contributions, services, protection, and support that beneficiaries would have received. Medical or funeral expenses connected to the death may also form part of the damages available under South Carolina law.
The financial consequences can extend well beyond immediate expenses when a household loses someone who provided income or services. Documentation such as employment records, financial information, medical bills, funeral expenses, and records showing the person's contributions to the household can help establish those losses. The particular beneficiaries and the evidence available can affect how a potential recovery is evaluated.
A wrongful death lawyer can review the circumstances of the death, identify the appropriate beneficiaries, and assess the losses that may form the basis of a wrongful-death claim.
