Marin & Murphy Law Firm represents seriously injured victims from our downtown Charleston office at 997 Morrison Dr. Attorney Matthew Marin leads the South Carolina practice.
South Carolina law gives you the right to pursue full compensation from the party whose negligence caused your injury. Under SC Code § 15-3-530, most personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the date of injury. Evidence disappears faster than that. Call our Charleston office 24 hours a day at (843) 642-2449.
If a government entity caused your injury, your deadline is shorter. Claims against the City of Charleston, SCDOT, a county, or any other South Carolina government entity fall under the SC Tort Claims Act, and a lawsuit must generally be filed within two years of the date you discovered or should have discovered your injury (S.C. Code § 15-78-110). Filing a verified claim with the entity within one year (§ 15-78-80) extends the lawsuit deadline to three years, but courts require strict compliance for the extension to apply. Damages against government entities are capped at $300,000 per person and $600,000 per occurrence, and punitive damages are not available (§ 15-78-120).
Our Charleston attorneys handle every stage of your case — from the first call through settlement or verdict. We investigate the accident, preserve critical evidence, identify every liable party, and fight for the compensation South Carolina law allows. When insurers refuse to negotiate in good faith, we take the case to trial.
