WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE A LAWYER AFTER A CRASH
Insurance companies will do everything in their power to delay and deny your auto accident injury claim. They are trained to make it difficult for car wreck victims to get the compensation they deserve.

- Results. We have more than 25 years of experience and a proven record of success in auto accident cases. Furthermore, we take cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you won’t pay for our services unless we are able to recover compensation on your behalf. No recovery, no fee.
Our Charleston car crash lawyers will conduct a thorough investigation of the events leading to your accident—we can even consult an accident expert to reconstruct the crash. Any evidence of negligence on the part of the other driver will be used to create a strong case for compensation.
On your behalf, we will attempt to negotiate with the insurance companies to reach a settlement that covers your losses, including any medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from the accident.
If a settlement cannot be reached, or a settlement is against your best interest, we will aggressively pursue and challenge your case in court to prove the other driver’s negligence to win a judgment in your favor.

Our Charleston auto accident lawyers can offer the advice and support you need to understand your case, help you weigh your options, and pursue compensation on your behalf.
We handle all types of car crash cases, including those that involve:
UNDERSTANDING SOUTH CAROLINA’S LIABILITY LAWS
South Carolina is a “fault state” when it comes to liability after a car accident. This means that the party responsible for an accident is the one who pays damages. However, most car accidents have more than one party at fault, if even by a very small percentage.
In these cases, South Carolina follows a “comparative fault” rule. This means that even a party who is partially responsible for an accident can file a claim as long as the other party is more at fault for the accident.
In these types of claims, the percentage of responsibility a defendant is found to be responsible for will also be deducted from their overall compensation awarded to them. For example, if you are found to be 15% at fault for the accident that caused your injuries, your compensation award will be reduced by 15%.
Car accident laws in South Carolina can be confusing and complex, which is why Bostic Law Group is here to guide you through the process while fighting for the compensation you deserve. Learn more about how we can help you by contacting our car wreck attorneys in Charleston, SC.
CAR ACCIDENTS ARE EXTREMELY COMMON & DANGEROUS
On an average day, an auto accident occurs every five seconds on South Carolina’s roadways. While many of these accidents are minor fender benders, some are serious enough to result in severe injuries to those involved.
An even more unfortunate statistic is that many of these accidents could have been avoided; they are caused by carelessness, negligence, drunk driving, excessive speed, or simple human error. In South Carolina alone, over 400 people are killed each year because of a DUI accident.
Other sobering statistics related to car crashes include:
- In the United States, 70% of car accidents are caused by alcohol or speeding
- At least 9 people are killed daily by distracted drivers
- 6% of all car crashes are fatal
- Among all developed countries, the U.S. has the largest number of annual car accident fatalities in the world
No matter what the situation, the period following a car wreck can be full of pain, confusion, anger, and frustration. Victims and their loved ones have a lot to deal with, including potentially worrying about how they will pay for medical bills and property damage. There are also the pressing matters of lost income and emotional trauma. No one should have to deal with these things alone.
