Experienced Auto Accident Lawyers Serving North Charleston & Summerville, South Carolina
Injuries suffered in a car crash can be extremely serious and have life-changing, long-term effects. Every motorist is responsible for handling their vehicle safely, and a driver who fails to do so should be held accountable for the harm they cause.
If you have been injured in a car accident, you need strong representation from an experienced lawyer who understands the law and will fight for your rights. We have extensive experience in a wide variety of car accident cases, including SUV rollovers, and we have served clients across the Low Country, throughout South Carolina, and in other states.
Insurance companies want to pay as little as possible. They will try to minimize the seriousness of your injuries and shift the blame onto you. We know the value of your claim and how to pursue the full compensation you deserve.

Driver negligence:
Single-vehicle & defect claims: Just because no other car was involved does not mean you have no options. We pursue claims for crashes caused by vehicle defects, tire failure, road defects, seat belt failure, and airbag failure.
Whether on city streets, county roads or highways, drunk driving accidents tend to cause the most serious injuries. If you or a loved one was injured by a drunk driver, it is wise to seek experienced counsel as soon as possible. With more than 40 years of experience, we fight to recover the full and fair compensation you are owed — including punitive damages, medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
With delayed reflexes and blurred perceptions, impaired drivers cause devastating crashes, with injuries ranging from multiple fractures to paralysis and, too often, fatalities. We negotiate aggressively with the at-fault driver’s insurer, and if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to represent you in court.
Crashes involving big rigs, 18-wheelers and tractor-trailers can be catastrophic. Professional drivers are held to a higher standard under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s regulations, and multiple parties — the driver, the employer, the truck owner, the manufacturer and others — may share liability. Trucking insurers begin investigating immediately, and some records can be deleted in as little as 180 days, so it is critical to contact us right away.
Motorcyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as any other driver, yet negligent drivers often fail to see them, and the rider pays the price with serious injuries. We have represented riders with injuries ranging from road rash to serious head injuries and deaths, and we understand the hazards you face on two wheels.
Accidents caused by road defects and construction zones can lead to significant property damage and serious injuries. Highway departments, local governments and their contractors are responsible for safe road design and properly set-up construction zones. We have successfully represented clients in road-defect and excessive shoulder drop-off cases across South Carolina and in other states.
As boating, fishing and water sports grow in popularity across the Low Country, so does the potential for serious injuries. Maritime law is complex — we have even successfully sued the Coast Guard for causing a boating collision — and many victims absorb costs that should fall on the at-fault party. We take the time to help you understand and protect your rights.
Seek medical attention, report the crash to law enforcement, and — if you are able — document the scene and gather witness information. Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before speaking with an attorney.
You may be able to turn to your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, and sometimes other policies, to make up the difference. We identify every available source of recovery.
Generally three years from the date of the crash for most claims, with shorter deadlines and notice requirements when a government entity is involved. Contact us promptly so your deadlines are protected.
We handle auto accident cases on a contingency-fee basis. There is no upfront fee, and you pay an attorney’s fee only if we recover compensation for you.
