Proving Your Personal Injury Claim 

When it comes to filing a personal injury claim in South Carolina, it’s important that you have a solid understanding of the legal process, as well as the key elements that need to be proven in your case. 

To prove your case, our attorneys can help: 

  • Establish Duty of Care: The first step is to establish that the defendant owed you a duty of care. This means showing that the responsible party had a legal obligation to act in a way that would reasonably prevent harm to others. For example, in a car accident case, all drivers have a duty to follow traffic laws and drive safely.
  • Demonstrate Breach of Duty: Once the duty of care is established, you must prove that the defendant breached their duty. This involves demonstrating that they failed to act reasonably or made a careless mistake that caused your injuries. Evidence such as witness statements, photographs, or expert testimony can support your claim.
  • Show Causation: Causation is a critical element in personal injury cases. You need to establish a direct link between the defendant's breach of duty and your injuries. This means proving that the defendant's actions or negligence directly caused your harm and that there were no intervening factors that led to your injuries.
  • Document Damages: To successfully pursue a personal injury claim, you need to demonstrate the extent of your damages. This includes both economic and non-economic damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and any other losses resulting from the incident. Keep all relevant documents, including medical records, bills, and receipts.
  • Gather Evidence: Building a strong case requires gathering as much evidence as possible. This may include photographs of the accident scene, witness statements, police reports, surveillance footage, or expert opinions. The more evidence you have, the better chance you have of proving your claim.

Types of Damages You May Be Able to Recover

The types of damages you may be able to recover in your personal injury claim depend on a variety of factors, including the unique circumstances of the case. 

That being said, many personal injury plaintiffs seek compensation for the following: 

  • Medical expenses, including future care costs
  • Rehabilitation and physical or cognitive therapy
  • Prescription and over-the-counter medications
  • Transportation to and from medical appointments
  • Lost income and/or wages 
  • Lost or reduced earnings and employment benefits 
  • Loss of earning ability due to disability 
  • Mental and physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress 

At Lanier Law Group, P.A., we help our clients fight for maximum compensation. Our goal is to help you recover for all your current, past, and future damages, allowing you to get back on your feet and move forward with your life. 

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late—Call Lanier Law Group, P.A. Today 

If you’ve been injured due to the reckless, negligent, or wrongful conduct of another, you have the right to seek financial compensation. However, it’s critical that you act quickly. In South Carolina, you only have three years (in most cases) to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you wait too long, you could lose your right to sue the liable party for damages. 

Navigating the legal process can be complex, and having an experienced personal injury attorney by your side can greatly enhance your chances of success. At Lanier Law Group, P.A., our Rock Hill personal injury attorneys can offer guidance, handle negotiations with insurance companies, and represent your best interests in court if necessary.

    "20 out of 10 stars."
    There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it's interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don't have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.
    "Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"
    I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!
    "So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"
    Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
