I could not have had a better experience with the Briggs Law Group! Sam has kept me informed through every step of the process. As I have never needed a lawyer before, I was so relieved to find someone so responsive and thorough. His consistent stream of clear, common sense advice—no legal jargon or confusion, just smart, practical guidance has felt grounded and honest. I truly feel like I have someone in my corner who cares and that made all the difference. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I know if I have a case?

You have a personal injury case if someone else has legal fault for hurting you. Legal fault varies from situation to situation. Many cases are based on accidents, where someone created a dangerous situation by not being careful enough. When you ask for a consultation with a lawyer at Briggs Law Group, we explore all possibilities for you to have a case.

• How much time do I have to file a lawsuit?

It depends. For general negligence claims, the time limit to file a lawsuit in South Carolina is three years. But it might be shorter or longer. You should never wait to contact a lawyer. We want to work quickly to preserve evidence and start pursuing your compensation.

• How will my lawyer determine the value of my case?

Your lawyer determines the value of your case by evaluating the types of losses you have. Plus, they consider other factors like how clear fault is and how you can collect compensation. Generally, the worse your injuries and losses, the more your case may be worth. However, there are other factors that may impact your case value.

• What steps should I take to protect my rights after an Injury?

After an injury, get medical care as quickly as possible. Report the accident to the police, your employer, or the property owner, as applicable. Have someone take photos and collect witness contact information. Consult with a lawyer as soon as possible.
