There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Genevieve and Ashleigh are. They are an absolute powerhouse. They were on top of every little detail, kept me informed and educated on every step of the process. I felt heard, protected and that my best interest was at heart! These two are a force and I’m so thankful for them. If you are in need, look no further!

Brad Easterling was Phenomenal! My husband needed a Workers Comp attorney after dealing with a work injury for 2 1/2 years on his own with no resolve. Brad was recommended by a friend and dealt with all of the issues swiftly. He was able to get us to a point that allowed us to get resolution for my husband's case. Very pleased how everything was handled and resolved.Thank you Brad for all your efforts.

Unfortunately I was recently rear ended. I was fortunate to work with a great attorney, Genevieve Weaver from The Clardy Law Firm. I really believe the she did a outstanding job of representing my interests and obtaining a fair settlement on my behalf. Both she and their investigator, Jeff Flynn, did a great job of keeping me informed on the status of my case. Every time I called or emailed both Ms. Weaver and Mr. Flynn they were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had. I have no hesitation in recommending The Clardy Law Firm and Ms. Weaver.

So I ended up not retaining a lawyer at this time but Tim went out of his way to speak to me on the phone and even met with me in person to go over my information. He advised me the best way to proceed and took time to help me better understand the process of a claim. He was honest and up front which is a rare quality these days! I wasn't even charged for his time. Needless to say, if I happen to need an attorney in the future, he will be my first choice.

Was in a vehicle accident and I decided I wanted this firm to represent me. No regrets. Great staff both personally and professionally. Handled everything to do with my case and answered all questions I had throughout the process.

The people here are all wonderful, and I have had a truly great experience with my personal injury case. My attorney was David Hartman, and he is absolutely phenomenal. David knows the ins and outs of our legal system flawlessly, and will guide you through the entire process. These guys are not the typical "ambulance chasing" attorneys you see on TV, and will ensure you get everything you are entitled to, while being fair to everyone. David told me when we started: "I always make sure my clients receive a bigger check than I do", and he absolutely honored that.I am so thankful I happened upon this firm when I did. Keep up the good work!

HOW OUR PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS
IN GREENVILLE, SC, CAN HELP YOU

If you have been injured in a car accident, you need an experienced auto accident lawyer on your side to help you stand up to insurance companies.

Truck accidents are much more likely to result in serious personal injury or death for the drivers and passengers of smaller vehicles. Let our experienced truck accident lawyers in Greenville, SC, get you the compensation you deserve.

If another driver’s negligence caused your motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation above and beyond.

Workers’ Compensation lawyers at The Clardy Law Firm can help you navigate and complete the proper steps to ensure you get the compensation you deserve if you’ve been injured at work.

If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, our experienced South Carolina personal injury attorneys are here to help.

Coping with the passing of a loved one is never easy. No amount of money can ease the pain, but it can help cover any expenses for your family’s loss.

South Carolina Law

Statute of Limitations: In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally three years from the date of the injury. It means you have three years from the time of the accident or discovery of the injury to file a lawsuit. It’s crucial to adhere to this deadline, as failing to file within the statute of limitations may result in losing your right to seek compensation.

Modified Comparative Negligence: South Carolina follows the modified comparative negligence rule. Under this rule, if you’re partially at fault for the accident that caused your injuries, your compensation may be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault. However, if your fault exceeds 50%, you may be barred from recovering any compensation.

Strict Liability for Dog Bites: South Carolina has a strict liability law for dog bite cases. It means that dog owners can be held liable for injuries caused by their dogs, regardless of whether the owner was aware of the dog’s vicious tendencies.

Caps on Non-Economic Damages: South Carolina places a cap on non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, in medical malpractice cases. The cap is currently set at $350,000 for each claimant, regardless of the number of defendants.

At-Fault Insurance System: South Carolina follows an at-fault insurance system, which means the party responsible for causing the accident is typically responsible for compensating the injured party. The at-fault driver’s liability insurance typically covers the damages.

Minimum Insurance Requirements: South Carolina law requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance coverage of $25,000 for bodily injury per person, $50,000 for bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 for property damage per accident.

Comparative Negligence in Auto Accidents: South Carolina follows the modified comparative negligence rule in auto accident cases. If you’re partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. However, as mentioned earlier, if your fault exceeds 50%, you may be barred from recovering compensation.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: South Carolina law requires insurers to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage to policyholders. This coverage provides protection if you’re injured by a driver without insurance or insufficient insurance to cover your damages.

What To Expect When You Choose Our Greenville, SC Personal Injury Lawyers

The personal injury lawyers at The Clardy Law Firm have over 25 years of experience securing compensation for South Carolina residents, and we can help you too. When you hire a personal injury lawyer from The Clardy Law Firm, you can expect dedicated and personalized legal representation. Our attorneys will work closely with you to understand the specifics of your case, gather evidence, conduct thorough research, and develop a strong legal strategy. We will handle all aspects of the personal injury legal process, including negotiations, settlement discussions, and, if necessary, litigation.

Our priority is to take as much off your plate as possible so you can focus on recovering from or adapting to life with your injuries. That’s why we handle all communications on your behalf. However, that doesn’t mean you’ll be left in the dark. We’re only a phone call away, and we’ll keep you updated with every step of your claim.

Here’s what to expect when you work with our personal injury lawyers.

Your first meeting with us is an opportunity to find out if you have a claim and ask questions you might have about our experience and the process — such as how long it might take and how much compensation you could expect. We’ll also ask you about your accident and the injuries you sustained.

If you choose to move ahead, our personal injury lawyers will begin gathering evidence proving who was at fault for your accident. We’ll also start negotiating with the responsible party’s insurance company.

Insurance companies are notorious for lowballing in an attempt to pay out as little as possible. Fortunately, our attorneys are skilled negotiators who will fight to get you a fair settlement.

When we have an offer to present, we’ll let you know. While the decision is ultimately yours, we’ll advise you on whether an offer is fair or if you could be entitled to more.

If the insurance company refuses to budge, you may decide to settle or go to trial.

If an insurance company is stubborn and you have a strong case, you may decide to go to trial. Personal injury claims rarely make it to this stage, as trials can be long and tedious, and insurance companies often don’t want to risk paying out a potentially substantial sum. There are pros and cons of going to trial, which we will clearly explain before you decide.

If you choose to proceed, your personal injury lawyer will begin preparing a persuasive case, including arranging your testimony.

Common Injuries Victims Have Suffered In Personal Injury Claims In Greenville, SC

  • Whiplash: Neck injuries resulting from sudden back-and-forth movement, often caused by car accidents.
  • Broken Bones: Fractures or breaks in bones commonly occurring in accidents involving falls, sports, or car collisions.
  • Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), concussions, or skull fractures caused by impacts to the head, such as slips and falls or motor vehicle accidents.
  • Back and Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spinal cord, herniated discs, or other injuries affecting the back, often resulting from falls, workplace accidents, or car crashes.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Damage to muscles, tendons, or ligaments, including sprains, strains, and contusions, frequently occurring in slips and falls, sports accidents, or physical assaults.
  • Burn Injuries: Thermal, chemical, or electrical burns caused by fires, explosions, hazardous substances, or defective products.
  • Internal Organ Injuries: Damage to internal organs like the lungs, liver, spleen, or kidneys, often caused by blunt force trauma in car accidents, falls, or workplace incidents.
  • Amputations: The loss of a limb or digit due to severe trauma, such as machinery accidents, construction mishaps, or catastrophic car collisions.
  • Scarring and Disfigurement: Permanent visible marks or disfigurement resulting from burns, lacerations, dog bites, or accidents involving hazardous substances.

Emotional and Psychological Injuries: Mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression that develop after traumatic incidents, including accidents, assault, or medical malpractice.

Types Of Damages Available To Claim

In a personal injury claim, damages can be categorized into three main types: economic, non-economic, and punitive. Here’s a breakdown of each category:

  1. Economic damages refer to the financial losses or expenses incurred as a direct result of the injury.
  2. Non-economic damages are intangible losses that do not have a direct monetary value but significantly impact the victim’s quality of life.
  3. Punitive damages, though less common, may be awarded in cases where the defendant’s actions were particularly reckless, intentional, or malicious. These damages aim to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior. The availability and criteria for punitive damages vary by jurisdiction and require a higher burden of proof.

It’s important to note that not all personal injury cases will involve punitive damages, as they are typically reserved for cases with extreme circumstances. The eligibility and limitations for each type of damage may also vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific facts of the case. Consulting with a personal injury attorney is crucial to understand the applicable laws and seek appropriate compensation for your situation.

Medical Expenses: Costs associated with medical treatment, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, medication, assistive devices, and ongoing medical care.

  • Lost Wages: Compensation for income or wages lost due to the injury, including past and future lost earnings.
  • Property Damage: Repairs or replacement costs for damaged property (e.g., a vehicle in a car accident).
  • Loss of Earning Capacity: Compensation for a decrease in the ability to earn income in the future, often resulting from a long-term or permanent disability caused by the injury.
  • Other Financial Losses: Additional expenses directly related to the injury, such as transportation costs for medical appointments, home modifications, or hiring help for household tasks during recovery.
  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, discomfort, and emotional distress experienced due to the injury.
  • Emotional Distress: Compensation for psychological and emotional effects, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep disturbances, or loss of enjoyment of life.
  • Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the negative impact the injury has on the victim’s relationships with their spouse, such as loss of companionship, affection, or the inability to engage in normal marital activities.
  • Loss of Quality of Life: Compensation for the reduction in the victim’s overall enjoyment or fulfillment of life due to the injury and resulting limitations.
  • Intentional Harm: If the defendant acted with malice, intent to harm, or engaged in willful misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded. For example, if a person intentionally causes harm to another in an assault or battery incident.
  • Gross Negligence: If the defendant’s conduct demonstrates a reckless disregard for the safety of others, punitive damages may be justified. For instance, driving a vehicle that was known to be unsafe.
  • Drunk Driving Accidents: In cases involving drunk driving accidents, where the defendant’s actions show a willful disregard for the safety of others, punitive damages may be awarded to deter similar conduct in the future.
  • Product Liability: If a manufacturer or distributor knowingly releases a dangerous product into the market and that product causes harm to consumers, punitive damages may be appropriate to discourage such conduct and protect public safety. For example, a business knowingly sells an unsafe vehicle.
