Local context

How South Carolina law applies

South Carolina follows modified comparative fault rules. Should your share of fault reach 51 percent or higher, numerous injury claims could be denied. A large share of cases stems from coastal tourism and heavy traffic along I-26 and I-85.

Injury lawsuits generally need to be started within three years. Suits against government entities might face tighter deadlines. Confirm your own time limit with a South Carolina lawyer.
