Personal Injury Attorney in Anderson, SC.

When an auto accident happens unexpectedly, anyone can become a victim. One moment you're commuting back home after a long day at the office. The next, your car is totaled, and you're injured in the hospital due to another person's negligence. It's not fair, but it happens every day. Unlike the irresponsible party who caused the accident, personal injury victims often suffer the most in auto accidents. They have to worry about lost days at work, the long road to recovery, and the inability to provide for their family. Sadly, many people injured in car accidents don't have the luxury of worrying about bills because they're fighting for life in the emergency room.

And while modern cars come equipped with safety features like blind spot monitoring and cross-traffic alerts, motor vehicle accidents are still a huge problem in South Carolina. According to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, in 2020, one person was injured every 11 minutes in a car collision. Even worse, one fatal collision was recorded every 9.1 hours.

Unfortunately, victims of auto accident negligence often don't know what to do when another driver hits them. They have questions like:

• Q."Who do I need to contact once the police leave?"
• Q."How will I go to work on Monday?"
• Q."Will I get fired because I can't show up?"
• Q."How will I take care of my family?"

These same innocent people provide official statements to insurance agencies without knowing the consequences.
