Common Injuries in Car Accidents

‍

• Head Injuries: Head injuries are among the most common auto accident injuries, often causing severe consequences like severe headaches, light sensitivity, mood swings, insomnia, memory loss, and depression. Seeking immediate medical attention is crucial if you experience these symptoms.

‍

• Neck and Back Injuries: Whiplash and neck injuries often result from rear-end collisions, leading to long-term pain and strain. Back injuries, including spinal cord injuries, can result from fractures, dislocations, herniated discs, or spinal tissue damage.

‍

• Internal Injuries: Auto accidents exert tremendous force, leading to injuries such as broken bones, shattered rib cages, and damage to vital organs like the kidneys, lungs, and liver. Internal bleeding is also a significant concern, potentially leading to severe complications or even death.

‍

Immediate medical attention after a car accident is critical, not only for your health but also for your insurance compensation claim. Insurance companies often exploit delays in medical treatment to argue that injuries were unrelated to the accident.

South Carolina Auto Accident Laws

In South Carolina, negligence resulting in auto accidents is not classified as "accidents." It's the duty of every driver to adhere to traffic laws and prioritize the safety of fellow road users. Negligence occurs when one party fails to act as a reasonable person would, endangering others.

‍

South Carolina follows a system of negligence known as comparative negligence. This system allows individuals injured in auto accidents to claim damages if they are less than 50% at fault for the accident. The amount of damages received is proportional to their level of fault.

How Comparative Negligence Works

Suppose you were injured in an upstate car accident, incurring $100,000 in damages. If you were found 20% at fault, you could recover $80,000 in damages. If your fault was determined to be 40%, you could recover $60,000. However, if your fault exceeded 50%, you would not be eligible for damages.

‍

This legal framework benefits drivers by allowing compensation even when partial fault is involved. In contrast, some states exclude parties at fault from any damages.

When Insurance Companies Don't Pay

Insurance companies are known to employ tactics like "deny, delay, defend" to minimize claim payouts. Despite years of paying premiums, insurers often aim to pay as little as possible in claims. Get more with Moore.
