The Carson Law Firm helps DUI victims in South Carolina by managing all aspects of a personal injury civil case to secure financial compensation for your losses caused by a drunk driver. Carson Law Firm takes on the burden of all legal proceedings, allowing you to focus on physical and emotional recovery.
Managing Communication with Insurers
Don’t worry. We take care of all the communication and negotiations with the liable insurance companies. We protect the victims from being coerced into saying something that could jeopardize their claim or believing lowball settlement offer is the most they are entitled to.
Within moments of becoming our client, we issue a notice to all parties that we are your representation. You will not be bothered, confronted, harassed or coerced by insurance adjusters, other lawyers, or parties involved.
Accident Investigation
Law enforcement on the scene works to report the accident to the best of their knowledge from the information gathered on the scene. That may not always be in your favor due to errors in reporting. We work to get it right.
We gather critical evidence to build your case, review police reports, review witness statements, locate digital evidence if available, medical records, toxicology results, and potentially "black box" data from vehicles that provides driving behavior and actions by the drunk driver.
Establishing Liability and Identifying All Liable Parties
The Carson Law Firm works to prove that the drunk driver's negligence was the direct cause of the injuries and damages.
We work to identify all liable parties concerning your case. In some instances, liability may extend beyond the drunk driver to other parties, such as a bar or restaurant that overserved them (under South Carolina's dram shop laws) or a social host who provided alcohol to a minor.
Valuing Damages Accurately
We are experienced in assessing the full scope of damages, including those with no exact price tag like pain and suffering, to ensure the maximum possible compensation is being required of those at fault.
We Represent You In Court
If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, the Carson Law Firm will represent you in court and advocate for your rights before a judge and jury.
We Can Pursue Punitive Damages
In cases where the drunk driver's actions were particularly egregious, we will seek punitive damages, which are designed to punish the offender and deter future similar behavior.
Carson Law Firm will fight to recover damages for both current and future losses:
Medical Expenses - Emergency services, hospital stays, surgeries, long-term rehabilitation, medication, and future medical treatment costs.
Lost Wages and Earning Potential - Reimbursement for time off work, use of sick/vacation time, and compensation for reduced ability to work in the future due to permanent injuries.
Property Damage - Costs for repairing or replacing your vehicle and other damaged personal property.
Pain and Suffering - Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.
