A serious car accident can change your life in an instant — and the insurance company’s first offer is rarely what your case is really worth. For more than five decades, the Hodge Law Firm has stood beside injured drivers, passengers, and families across Spartanburg, Greenville, Cherokee County, and the rest of Upstate South Carolina, fighting to get them the full compensation they’re owed.

- Real relationships, real results — see how we fought for Radcliffe Clarke below
Signs You May Have a Strong Car Accident Claim
Not every accident leads to a lawsuit, but certain signs suggest you may be entitled to significant compensation:
- The other driver was clearly at fault — a traffic violation, police citation, or witness account can establish liability
- You sought medical treatment and have documentation connecting your injuries to the crash
- The property damage was significant, suggesting real force of impact
- There were witnesses who can confirm what happened
- The insurance company’s offer doesn’t come close to covering your bills — a common tactic, and a sign you need an advocate
If any of these apply to you, don’t guess at what your case is worth. A free consultation with our team costs nothing and can tell you exactly where you stand.
What You’re Entitled to After a Car Wreck
South Carolina law allows injured accident victims to pursue several types of compensation:
Economic Damages
- Medical bills — past and future
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Vehicle repair or replacement costs
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
Wrongful Death Damages
- If you lost a loved one in a crash caused by another’s negligence, South Carolina law allows surviving family members to pursue damages for their loss
Punitive Damages
- In cases involving reckless or malicious conduct (such as drunk driving), South Carolina courts may award additional damages meant to punish the at-fault party
Let our Spartanburg car wreck attorneys handle the insurance companies and the legal complexities while you focus on healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
South Carolina uses modified comparative negligence. As long as you’re less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in South Carolina?
You typically have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in South Carolina. This deadline can be shorter depending on who you’re filing against (for example, claims involving a government vehicle have a much shorter window) — so it’s important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible.
Do I have to go to court?
No. Most car accident claims settle through negotiation with the insurance company. We only go to trial when it’s necessary to get you fair compensation.
What is my case worth?
It depends on your medical expenses, lost wages, the severity and permanence of your injuries, and the facts of liability. A free consultation is the fastest way to get a real answer specific to your situation.
Should I give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company?
No. You’re not required to, and anything you say can be used to reduce your settlement. Let your attorney handle communication with insurers.
What if the at-fault driver didn't have insurance?
South Carolina allows injured victims to pursue compensation through their own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. We can help you navigate this process.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Straightforward claims may resolve in a few months; cases involving serious injuries or disputed liability can take longer, especially if they go to trial. We’ll give you a realistic timeline once we understand your case.
