Types of Cases Handled by a Personal Injury Lawyer at The Lovely Law Firm

The injury lawyers at The Lovely Law Firm represent negligence victims in many different types of personal injury cases. Our breadth of legal knowledge and experience allows us to help the victims of negligence recover compensation in all of the types of injury claims that are described below.

Car Accidents

Car accidents are common occurrences in Charleston. While some accidents only result in property damage, others cause people to suffer serious injuries or death. Most auto accidents are caused by driver errors. If you have been injured because of the negligent mistakes made by another driver or entity in a car accident, you are entitled to file a claim for damages. Our attorneys can analyze what happened in your case and provide an assessment of your claim’s legal merits.

Trucking Accidents

Regardless of whether truck accidents happen within the city of Charleston or not, they often cause much more serious injuries and fatalities. This is because of the weight and size disparities between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles. Because of the risks involved with truck accidents, the industry is stringently regulated. Trucking carriers are required to carry liability insurance with high policy limits, and insurance and trucking companies tend to aggressively defend against trucking accident claims because of the monetary amounts that may be involved in these types of claims. Retaining a knowledgeable and highly skilled lawyer at The Lovely Law Firm might place you on more equal footing with the defense team representing the trucking company and increase the chances that you will recover the damages you deserve.

Motorcycle Accidents

While many people love riding on motorcycles, motorcyclists face much higher risks of serious injuries or fatalities when they are involved in accidents. Motorcyclists have little to protect them from the forces of a collision, and frequently suffer catastrophic injuries when they are struck by passenger vehicles. Charleston is a great place for bikers and is a great bike ride to the ocean. Charleston also has a large Harley Davidson dealership. Our lawyers understand the unique factors involved in Charleston motorcycle accident cases and are prepared to fight for your rights to recover damages from the negligent party that caused your accident and injuries.

Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents

Tens of millions of Americans slip, trip, and fall each year. While these types of accidents are common, they can cause serious injuries or death. When people slip and fall while visiting the property of others, they may have the legal right to pursue compensation. Property owners must maintain their properties in a reasonably safe condition. When invited guests, customers, or others who are lawfully visiting the property are injured because of dangerous conditions that the property owners have failed to correct, the property owners may be liable to pay damages. Understanding common injury types from a slip, trip, and fall in South Carolina can help individuals assess the potential risks and legal implications of such accidents.

Dog Bites

Dog bites can cause fractures, lacerations, and other serious injuries. People may be left with permanent scarring and emotional trauma after they are bitten by dogs. When a dog bites you in a public place or when you are lawfully on someone else’s property, the dog’s owner is liable to pay damages to you. Our attorneys represent dog bite victims to help them recover all of the compensation they deserve.

Workplace Injuries

Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that most employers in South Carolina are required to carry. This coverage allows people who suffer workplace injuries to file claims for benefits. The benefits include payments for all of your health care costs related to your injuries as well as partial or total disability benefits if you are temporarily or permanently unable to return to your job because of your injuries. Because of the availability of workers’ compensation, employees are generally not allowed to file lawsuits against their employers. However, if a third-party also contributed to your accident’s case, you may file a negligence lawsuit against the third party while pursuing a workers’ comp claim for benefits through your employer. Workers’ compensation can be complicated. Our SC workers’ compensation attorneys can help you recover all the benefits and other compensation you are entitled to. We also offer our workers’ compensation services near Conway and Charleston, South Carolina.

Defective Products

Product manufacturers and designers must only release safe products. If a product has an unavoidable danger, warnings must be attached that clearly state the dangers the product has. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured by a product you purchased, you may have legal rights to recover compensation from all of the parties responsible for bringing it to the market. Our attorneys are equipped to handle the complexities of product liability claims.

Wrongful death

Losing a loved one is always difficult. It might be even harder to deal with when your loved one’s death was caused by the wrongful or negligent conduct of another person or business. At The Lovely Law Firm, we fight to hold defendants who cause the deaths of others accountable for their actions and to secure full compensation for our clients.
