How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Myrtle Beach, SC?

In South Carolina, you generally have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit after a car accident. The deadline applies to actions involving injury to another person. Missing the applicable deadline can prevent you from pursuing your case in court.

Under South Carolina law, the three-year period generally begins when you knew or reasonably should have known that you had a cause of action. Some circumstances can affect the deadline, making it important to determine when the filing period began.

Around Myrtle Beach, filing an insurance claim does not mean you have filed a lawsuit. Insurance negotiations can continue while the legal deadline approaches. Knowing the difference can help you avoid assuming that an open claim protects your right to sue.

As the filing deadline approaches, keeping track of the crash date and important claim documents becomes especially important. Settlement discussions with an insurer generally do not replace the need to meet applicable court deadlines. Your case may depend on taking legal action on time.

Before the deadline passes, a civil action generally begins by filing the summons and complaint with the court. If service is not completed within the limitations period, South Carolina rules generally require actual service within 120 days after filing.

In some cases, a different deadline may apply. Claims involving South Carolina government entities are generally subject to a two-year limitation period. Certain procedures under the South Carolina Tort Claims Act can affect how much time is available to bring an action.

For these reasons, a car accident attorney can review the crash date and determine which deadline may apply. A lawyer can also prepare the necessary documents and take appropriate steps to file the case before time runs out.
