  3. Document the scene with photos of damage, license plates, and road conditions

What Compensation Can I Recover After a Car Accident?

South Carolina law allows car crash victims to recover compensation for:

  • Medical bills (past and future)

  • Lost wages and loss of earning potential

  • Property damage

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

In wrongful death cases, families may also recover funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and more.


Common Causes of Car Accidents in Myrtle Beach

Tourism traffic, speeding, and distracted driving all contribute to Myrtle Beach's high accident rate. We regularly handle cases involving:

  • Rear-end collisions

  • Drunk driving (DUI) accidents

  • Intersection crashes

  • Hit-and-run accidents

  • Rideshare or taxi crashes

  • Commercial vehicle collisions

  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents

We investigate each case thoroughly and hold negligent drivers accountable.


Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side—But We Are

Insurance companies often delay, deny, or underpay claims—even when fault is clear. We level the playing field by:

  • Investigating the accident scene

  • Obtaining the crash report and medical records

  • Working with accident reconstruction experts

  • Calculating the full value of your claim

  • Negotiating for a fair settlement—or going to trial if needed

Don't let the insurance company lowball you. Let us fight for what you truly deserve.
