When you suffer an injury because of someone else’s negligence, your world can change in an instant.

Medical bills start piling up, time away from work creates financial stress, and the pain and uncertainty can be overwhelming.

During such a difficult time, having a dedicated attorney on your side can make a real difference. At Kent Collins Law, we fight for people in Lexington, SC, who need fair compensation and accountability after an accident.

Why Personal Injury Cases Matter in South Carolina

Personal injury law in South Carolina exists to protect victims of negligence and hold wrongdoers accountable.

Whether you’ve been injured in a car accident, a slip and fall, a dog bite, or another serious incident, the law allows you to seek damages for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Unfortunately, insurance companies are not always quick to do the right thing.

That’s why having an experienced personal injury attorney in Lexington, like Kent Collins, advocating for you is so important.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in South Carolina

If you’ve been injured, you probably have many questions. Below are some of the most common concerns people in South Carolina have about personal injury claims.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in South Carolina?
According to South Carolina law, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the injury. Waiting too long can result in losing your right to pursue compensation, so it’s important to act quickly.
What damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. An attorney can evaluate your case and help you pursue the full recovery you deserve.
Do I have to go to court to resolve my personal injury claim?
Not always. Many personal injury cases in South Carolina are resolved through settlement negotiations with the insurance company. However, if the insurer refuses to offer a fair amount, Kent Collins is fully prepared to take your case to trial.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
Most personal injury attorneys, including Kent Collins, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay upfront legal fees. The attorney only collects if you recover compensation, which makes legal representation accessible for injury victims.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Your first priority should be seeking medical attention. Then, document the accident scene, collect witness information, and report the incident. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before speaking to an attorney. Calling Kent Collins early can help protect your rights from the beginning.
