South Carolina Accident laws

South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you may still recover compensation if you are less than 51% at fault, though your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

There is also a limited time to file a claim, typically three years from the date of the accident. Acting early helps protect your rights and preserves important evidence.
