You Are Entitled to Compensation After a Negligence-Based Accident
Before you seek compensation for the costs of your injuries and the expenses that stem from your injuries, you must prove the at-fault party’s negligence. That means proving the at-fault party’s duty, breach of duty, cause of injuries, and cause of financial damages.
Like most personal injury cases, yours is more likely to be resolved with a settlement versus a court case. According to S.C. Ann. § 15-32-210, our personal injury lawyers in Barnwell, South Carolina, can request the following compensation for you:
Tangible Damages
Economic damages are tangible, and their costs can be easily proven with documents and receipts. They include:
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Lost income
- Loss of earning capacity
- Property damage of loss
We will compile your medical records and bills, employment and salary history records, property repair costs, or property replacement values to prove the value of your economic damages.
Intangible Damages
Non-economic damages are intangible, and their value can be more difficult to prove on your own. These include:
- Pain and suffering
- Inconvenience
- Physical impairment
- Disfigurement
- Mental despair
- Emotional distress
Our personal injury lawyers understand which documents help establish your intangible damages’ collective value. These can include medical records, prognosis reports, and your statement about how the long-term or permanent injuries affected your life and lifestyle.
Wrongful Death Damages
The unexpected loss of a loved one can be hard to cope with. While you and your family take care of each other, our legal team will help your family recoup the following damages:
- Loss of society
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of companionship
- Funeral and burial costs
At Poulin | Willey | Anastopoulo, LLC., we make sure your family is compensated for the damages from the pain and suffering of your loss and the loss of your loved one’s financial and household contributions to your family.

Proving Liability in Your Personal Injury Case in Barnwell, S.C.
Seeking compensation depends on proving the person or entity who caused your accident was negligent, careless, or reckless. Our Barnwell injury lawyer will prove the at-fault party:
- Owed you a duty of care
- Breached their responsibility
- Caused your physical injuries
- Caused your financial damages
We collect evidence that proves the cause and the cost of your accident and resulting injuries.
What if the At-Fault Party Says I Contributed to the Accident?
Even if you bear partial responsibility for your accident, you could still be entitled to collect damages. According to S.C. Ann. § 15-38-15, liability is assigned in percentages, and your damage award will be reduced by the percentage of the accident’s cause assigned to you.
Here is what that can look like-a $1,000,000 award can be reduced to:
- $800,000 if you are found to bear 20% liability
- $600,000 if you are found to bear 40% liability
- $0 if you are found to bear 50% or more liability
Our client support team will work on your behalf to minimize the damage you could face under South Carolina’s comparative negligence law.

Your Potential Lawsuit Has a Time Limit in South Carolina
The state imposes a filing deadline, called the statute of limitations, on personal injury lawsuits. It requires compliance and penalizes non-compliance by barring you from filing your lawsuit or dismissing it out of hand.
Timely compliance starts with an understanding of the filing deadline:
- The personal injury statute of limitations: Generally, three years from the date your injury occurred, per C. Ann. § 15-3-530.
- The wrongful death statute of limitations: Generally, three years from the date of a loved one’s demise, per C. Ann. § 15-3-530.
- The medical malpractice statute of limitations: Generally, three years from the date of the error or discovery of the error, per C. Ann. § 15-3-545.
