What to Do After a Car Accident
What you do after a car accident can impact the rest of your case. However, our auto accident lawyers in Murrells Inlet can work with you to construct a compelling case no matter the circumstances. We understand that the moments after an accident are chaotic and overwhelming, and we are here to support you.
After a car accident, you should:
- Move to a safe area: Safety should always come first. If possible, move your vehicle out of the way of traffic or move yourself and any others to a safer area. If anyone is injured, call 911 immediately and seek medical help.
- Call the police: The police will compile an official report which can be used later down the road if you choose to file a claim.
- Call your insurance company: Begin the process of filing an accident report with your insurance company.
How is Liability Determined in an SC Auto Accident?
South Carolina is what is known as a "modified comparative negligence state." So what does that mean? It means that, while a specific party may be found to be responsible for the accident, if you played any part in causing the crash this may reduce the total amount you are eligible to receive in compensation.
For example, if you are found to be 10% responsible for the accident (this will be determined by the court), your compensation will be reduced by that amount. However, if you are found to be more at fault for the auto accident than the other party you will not be allowed to pursue compensation at all.

What Is the Car Accident Lawsuit Process?
A typical car accident lawsuit will go through the following steps:
- First your legal team will work to collect evidence supporting your claim
- Next, your legal team will file a complaint on your behalf, and serve the defendant with your claim
- The defendant will have opportunity to respond to your claim, during which time we will continue to compile evidence for your case
- We will then enter the discovery phase, in which our team will request and exchange information with the defendant's legal team
- If we are able to reach a fair settlement on your behalf without going to trial, we will; if not, we will proceed to trial
- During the trial we will present your case before a judge and will fight for your fair compensation
