How a Personal Injury Attorney Helps

The aftermath of an accident can be confusing, especially if it’s the first time anything like this has happened before.

It’s important to remember that after an accident resulting in injury or death, the other side will begin building their case and working with their own legal team on their defense. Having a lawyer on your side protects your rights and helps you get the outcome you want.

Here are some ways that Cavanaugh & Thickens, LLC helps clients in personal injury cases:

Conduct a thorough investigation into the accident – We work to understand what happened and why to prove fault, a critical part of all South Carolina injury cases.
Identify all potential sources of recovery.
Gather and preserve critical evidence, such as security footage, witness testimony, black box data, and other important evidence.
Ensure all paperwork is done properly and deadlines are met.
Fairly value your claim, helping you understand what you deserve and ensuring you’re not taken advantage of.
Aggressively negotiate with the insurance company, putting you and your goals for the case first.
Prepare your case for trial and fight for you in court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Keep you updated every step of the way.

In many Greenville personal injury cases, you are going up against large, powerful insurance companies. Our team has the experience and resources needed to fight for you. Plus, many of our lawyers previously worked at defense firms, so we understand how the other side thinks.

The Statute of Limitations in Greenville Personal Injury Cases

In Greenville and throughout South Carolina, you typically have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, there are exceptions to this rule that can significantly decrease the amount of time you have to file, for example if a government entity was involved.

While three years may seem like ample time, evidence in personal injury cases can disappear fast and memories can fade. Speaking to a lawyer sooner than later can help ensure evidence for your claim is gathered and preserved.
