Understanding Fault & South Carolina Law
Car accident compensation in South Carolina is fault-based. When someone is responsible for an accident, they are liable to pay compensation to the victims.
Fault
Most car accidents are truly accidents. Usually, nobody means for the accident to happen. But violating a traffic law or careless actions can cause an accident. It can make a party at fault.
Examples of car accident fault include:
- Speeding
- Improper lane change
- Improper turn
- Violating a stop sign
- Tailgating, not leaving enough following distance
- Distracted, drowsy driving, careless driving
- Reckless driving, road rage
In addition to driver error, there are other causes of traffic accidents, including road design, deteriorating road conditions, vehicle malfunction, roaming animals, and improper trucking operations.
The standard for fault is negligence. Negligence is a legal term that means a lack of reasonable care for the situation. The actions of each party are evaluated for how they may have contributed to the accident.
Under South Carolinaโs comparative fault system, a party may claim compensation to the extent others are responsible, with a 51% fault maximum threshold for compensation.
Compensation
Compensation for a car accident is based on the losses sustained by the victim. The South Carolina at-fault system for car accidents has no minimum threshold. If someone else is responsible, you may pursue compensation for economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are direct financial losses. Some losses may occur right after the accident, like medical bills, vehicle damage, and lost wages. They may happen in the future, too, like long-term medical needs and career damage.
Non-economic damages are intangible losses from a car accident. For example, your physical pain is a type of non-economic damage. Your emotional suffering can be compensated for.
You may claim compensation for the damages payable under South Carolina law. An attorney can help you value these damages and gather evidence to prove your case.
Pursuing the case
To receive compensation, you must pursue it. The insurance company isnโt on your side. Theyโre not going to immediately offer the maximum for your case. You need to investigate, build your case, and pursue your claim.
You may build proof of fault and damages, then negotiate with the insurance company. If they wonโt agree to a fair settlement, you may take your case to the legal system. Jordan Law Center resolves cases through settlements and trials.
