Accidents in and around Florence

I-20 ends at I-95 just outside Florence. That junction is why Florence gets the traffic it does: long-haul trucks coming up the coast, Atlanta traffic running east, and out-of-state drivers who have been behind the wheel for six hours and are looking for an exit with a gas station. Those drivers go home. The trucking company's insurer stays, and it generally starts working the claim right away. South Carolina gives you three years to file, and the at-fault rule means somebody has to be shown to have caused it. Florence County Court of Common Pleas handles the suit. US-52 and the McLeod Boulevard strip bring a slower wreck, and just as contested.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get the report after a crash in Florence?

From the agency that worked it. The Florence Police Department covers city streets, the Florence County Sheriff's Office covers the county, and the South Carolina Highway Patrol generally handles I-95 and I-20, which means an interstate wreck is usually a trooper's report rather than a city one. Get the case number before you leave the scene if you're able to.

Which court would my Florence injury case go to?

Florence County Court of Common Pleas. That covers a crash inside Florence County, but I-95 runs through several counties in the Pee Dee, so a wreck well north or south of town may belong to a neighboring county's court instead. The location and mile marker on the report generally settle that. The three-year deadline is statewide and doesn't change with the county.

The truck that hit me on I-95 was from out of state. Does that hurt my claim?

It complicates logistics more than law. A crash in South Carolina is generally handled under South Carolina's rules, including the three-year deadline and the 51% bar, no matter where the carrier is based or where the driver went home to. What changes is the paperwork: a corporate insurer, a driver who lives elsewhere, and a truck that was back on the road that night.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in South Carolina?

In South Carolina, the deadline is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. 3 years personal injury; wrongful death 3 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
