Car Accidents claims in Florence

US-76 and US-301 crossed this state long before the interstates did. They still come through town as surface streets, Palmetto and Irby, with signals, curb cuts, and drivers who came off an I-95 ramp a few minutes earlier. Out-of-town drivers hesitate at exactly the wrong moment. They also brake for exits they have already passed, and a collision that follows one of those decisions gets argued as shared fault, which under the 51% bar means an adjuster is working to move percentages rather than to deny you outright. Write down the other driver's home state and plate. It matters later. The clock on all of it runs three years.
How fault gets decided can end a car accident case in Florence before it starts. South Carolina's rule: Modified comparative negligence, 51% bar. You have 3 years to file. Rear-end, intersection, and highway collisions — the most common case we help with.

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.
