Our Rock Hill personal injury lawyers can help you deal with the full range of personal injury lawsuits, including:

Accident injuries can have serious consequences for the victims. Lost wages and ever-growing medical bills can quickly become overwhelming. Many accident victims also experience pain and suffering as well as trauma and emotional challenges as they try to cope with what has happened. You don’t have to do it alone!

If you or a family member has been seriously hurt in an accident in Rock Hill, South Carolina, you may benefit from getting a personal injury lawyer on your side. Even in what seems like the most obvious, open-and-shut cases, an insurance company will do whatever it can to pay as little as possible or even deny your claim for compensation.

Our skilled and compassionate Rock Hill injury lawyers work tirelessly to protect individuals like you from insurance companies and giant corporations that try to intimidate vulnerable accident victims and manipulate the system to their advantage. We can fight for you every step of the way, demanding maximum compensation for the damage you have suffered.

When Schiller & Hamilton takes your case, you can count on a thorough investigation of your accident to determine who is at fault and how you should be compensated. Because our law firm only pursues cases for those who have truly been wronged, we do not charge for our services unless and until we recover money for our clients.

Damages You Can Seek in a Rock Hill Personal Injury Case

Every case varies, but generally speaking, those hurt in negligence-based accidents qualify to recover damages like:

Medical expenses
Property damage costs
Pain and suffering
Lost income
Emotional distress
Reduced earning capacity
Disfigurement
Wrongful death damages, if applicable

South Carolina limits how long you have to pursue these damages. According to S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530, you must bring your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit usually within three years. If you miss this window, it shows the court that you forfeit your right to seek damages from the other party. In that case, you may be out of options for compensation.

However, if you give our team adequate notice, our personal injury attorneys can help you file your lawsuit before the deadline.

Personal Injury Law Firm in Rock Hill

The South Carolina state judicial system includes three types of trial courts:

Circuit Court is the state court of general jurisdiction, responsible for most general sessions (criminal court) and common pleas (civil matters), the latter of which includes most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. Magistrate’s Court (sometimes called Summary Court) handles criminal and civil matters of limited consequence. Family Court presides over divorce, separation, adoption, and other matters regarding families and children.

In addition, municipal courts have jurisdiction over cases arising under ordinances of local municipalities, as well as overall local offenses subject to fines not exceeding $500, imprisonment not exceeding 30 days, or both.
