Services
Workers Compensation
Specializing in workers' compensation cases, our former Commissioners leverage insider knowledge of the system to secure medical treatment and wage replacement benefits. We handle denied claims, negotiate settlements, and represent clients at hearings while ensuring compliance with South Carolina's strict filing deadlines. Our contingency fee structure removes financial barriers to quality legal representation.
Personal Injury
We pursue maximum compensation for injuries caused by negligence, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our team investigates accidents, consults medical experts, and negotiates with insurers to ensure fair settlements. Cases include auto accidents, slip-and-falls, and defective product injuries across South Carolina.
Truck Accidents
Handling complex truck accident cases involving multiple liable parties, we analyze electronic logging data, maintenance records, and federal regulations. Our attorneys work with accident reconstruction experts to prove liability and secure compensation for catastrophic injuries while countering aggressive insurance defense tactics.
Premises Liability
We represent clients injured due to unsafe property conditions, including slip-and-falls, negligent security, and swimming pool accidents. Our team documents hazardous conditions, establishes property owner negligence, and pursues compensation for medical costs and emotional trauma through settlement negotiations or trial litigation.
Social Security Disability
Assisting clients with denied disability applications, we prepare comprehensive medical documentation and represent claimants at administrative hearings. Our attorneys understand the complex eligibility requirements and work to demonstrate how injuries prevent substantial gainful employment as required by federal regulations.
