Car Accident Lawyer representing Charleston & Nearby Areas of South Carolina
If you or a loved one has recently been in an auto accident, then you know it comes with a cost. Bills for medical care, follow-up appointments, and car repair can really add up, to say nothing of the money lost by missing work or paying more insurance. But according to South Carolina law, someone else may be legally obligated to pay these costs, especially if the accident was not your fault.
The car accident attorneys at Steinberg Law Firm can determine whether you are legally owed compensation for your auto accident and help move your case forward. Our experienced car accident attorneys deal with insurance adjusters and accident paperwork on a regular basis, and we can keep unscrupulous insurance companies or dishonest motorists from taking advantage of you.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
There are many different ways a car accident can occur, and the specifics of each accident - the other drivers, the road conditions, the presence of defects in any of the automobiles involved - all have a major effect on who is held liable. No matter the circumstances behind your accident, Steinberg Law Firm and its car accident lawyers will help you along the process every step of the way.
- Driver error
- Drunk driving
- Speeding and reckless driving

Recovering Compensation After an Accident
The best car accident lawyers know that the recovery process can be time-consuming, stressful, and expensive. Our car accident attorneys may be able to help you recover compensation for damages caused by the car accident including:
- Medical expenses and ongoing healthcare costs to treat long-term injuries
- Lost wage due to time missed from work
- Motor vehicle repairs
- Mental anguish, pain and suffering
- Permanent physical damage
- Other out-of-pocket expenses
- Home and lifestyle modifications due to disability
- Ongoing medical care and/or rehabilitative therapy
- Loss of companionship (in the event of a fatal crash)
In the aftermath of an injury-causing wreck, these are among the numerous damages for which you may seek compensation. Our car accident attorneys understand that these difficulties can prevent you from supporting you and your family, and fortunately, we have the legal knowledge and skill to help you pursue financial compensation from the person responsible for your unnecessary pain and suffering.
What to Do After an Auto Accident in South Carolina
After a car accident, it is imperative that you contact the police immediately. Your best chance for a favorable ruling or settlement in a car accident case is to have comprehensive records of the accident and its aftermath. Records you should collect for legal action include:
- An accident report filed with the police
- The insurance information of the car that hit you
- The other driver’s contact information
- Photographs of the accident scene
- Contact information for any witnesses to the accident
- Your medical care and expenses following the accident
- Paystubs to prove lost wages
- Accurate medical records that indicate the extent and cause of your injuries
Immediately after a car accident you or your loved one needs to consult a doctor. Drivers and passengers often suffer serious injuries that can require hospitalization. Many injuries will not manifest immediately, some symptoms can manifest hours, days, or weeks after a car accident. Insurance companies may try to claim that your injuries are not serious if you do not seek immediate medical attention.
Stay off of social media. Do not post anything about your car crash that could be used against you. And, do not speak with any insurance representatives until you have talked with an attorney.
Be sure to seek legal advice from a car accident lawyer early in the process and do not sign anything or make any statements without the approval of your lawyer.
