Accidents in and around Mount Pleasant

Everything in Mount Pleasant funnels onto US-17. Johnnie Dodds Boulevard carries commuters toward the Ravenel Bridge, the Isle of Palms Connector pulls beach traffic off it, Long Point Road feeds trucks to the Wando Welch Terminal, and Coleman Boulevard fills up every evening around Shem Creek. Plenty of those drivers aren't from here. A visitor turning left across four lanes of US-17 doesn't know the light pattern, and you're the one who pays for that. South Carolina gives you three years to file. Suits go to the Charleston County Court of Common Pleas. Witnesses who live out of state get harder to reach every month.

Frequently asked questions

Who writes the report for a wreck on Johnnie Dodds?

The Mount Pleasant Police Department handles crashes on town streets, including US-17 through town, Coleman Boulevard, and the approach to the Isle of Palms Connector, while the South Carolina Highway Patrol generally works I-526. Ask the responding officer which one it was. Request the report from that agency, using the date and the case number from the scene. It's worth doing early.

Where would a Mount Pleasant injury suit be filed?

Charleston County Court of Common Pleas. Mount Pleasant sits in Charleston County, so that's the civil trial court for a crash inside town limits, though most claims never get that far and are worked out between lawyers and an adjuster instead. The three-year deadline still governs all of them, and once it passes an insurer generally has no reason to pay anything.

Is a crash on the way to Isle of Palms handled differently?

No, but the details get slippery. The Connector and the Ben Sawyer approach fill with visitors on a Saturday, and the other driver may be in a rental, in a borrowed car, or headed home to another state that night. Photograph the plate and the insurance card yourself. The crash report is generally the only record anyone keeps of who was where.

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.
