If you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to file a personal injury claim. These types of cases are designed to help injured people recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.
At Durant Law in Surfside, we help clients across the Grand Strand get the justice they deserve after an accident. Here’s a quick overview of the most common types of personal injury claims we handle in South Carolina.
1. Car Accidents
Car crashes are one of the most common personal injury claims. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, a drunk driver, or someone who simply wasn’t paying attention, we can help you seek compensation for:
- Medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Vehicle repairs or replacement
We also handle motorcycle and truck accident cases.
2. Dog Bites
South Carolina law holds dog owners strictly liable when their dog bites or attacks someone. If you or your child was injured by a dog—whether in a neighborhood, at the beach, or in a public space—we can help you recover for:
- Medical bills
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Psychological trauma
- Lost income from time off work
3. Slip and Fall Accidents
If you fell due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property—like a wet floor, broken step, or poorly lit walkway—you may have a claim against the property owner. We help clients prove negligence and recover for injuries like:
- Fractures
- Back or spinal injuries
- Head trauma
4. Wrongful Death
When a loved one is killed due to someone else’s negligence—whether in a car accident, a fall, or a violent incident—South Carolina law allows surviving family members to file a wrongful death claim. These cases can include compensation for:
- Funeral expenses
- Lost future income
- Emotional pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship
5. Other Personal Injury Cases
We also handle a variety of other injury cases, including:
- Boating accidents
- Pedestrian injuries
- Bicycle accidents
- Premises liability (injuries caused by unsafe property conditions)
- Nursing home neglect or abuse
If you’re not sure whether you have a case, we offer free consultations to review your situation and explain your options.
