South Carolina Car Accident Lawyers
If you have been injured in a car accident, you already know the consequences. You hurt. You may be out of work. The doctors' bills are growing. What you may or may not know is that you need a local lawyer to help you. We at Hetrick, Harvin and Bonds can provide you that help. You may be entitled to recover monetary damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages. In order to protect yourself and bring a claim, you should contact the car accident lawyers at Hetrick, Harvin & Bonds as soon as possible.
Car accidents can cause serious injuries that can affect your health now and in the future. It's important to seek medical attention immediately following an auto accident. Often injuries, even serious injuries, may not appear until days or weeks later. More often, the total extent of one's injuries, particularly if they involve a ruptured or herniated disc, may not be fully known for months. It is important that you seek medical treatment as soon after the accident as possible, and report all areas of pain to medical personnel. The longer the time between the accident date and the date you first go to the doctor, the more the insurance company will try to reduce your injury claim.
If you have been injured in a car accident, you've already been a victim once. At the law firm of Hetrick, Harvin & Bonds, our attorneys will make sure that the process you go through to receive compensation for your losses does not victimize you again. We will aggressively pursue your claim so the insurance company does not take advantage of you.
Many people try to negotiate their own case directly with the insurance company. More often than not, this is a serious mistake. These individuals rely on the supposed fairness of the insurance company to promptly and justly settle their claim. Unfortunately, insurance companies feel more obligated to their shareholders and policyholders then they do to you, the victim. The adjuster's job is to save his company money by paying you less. The adjuster is not one your side. You need someone tough and experienced to help you.
From the moment you hire us, we will immediately begin working on your behalf, helping to arrange a rental car, helping you get appropriate medical care for your injuries, communicating with the insurance company, and helping you obtain compensation for:
- Damage to your vehicle
- Medical bills now and in the future
- Lost wages now and in the future if your earning capacity is diminished
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Lost of enjoyment of life
We help people who suffer all types of injuries, including broken bones, back injuries, whiplash, concussion, closed head injury, and other types of injuries. If your injuries are caused by auto defects such as overly aggressive or malfunctioning air bags, we can also purse a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible car company.
