Wrongful death claims in South Carolina are generally brought by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate for the benefit of surviving family members. In many cases, eligible beneficiaries include:

- Children
- Parents
- Other heirs as provided by law
Most wrongful death claims must be filed within three years of the date of death, although shorter deadlines may apply in certain situations involving government entities or other special circumstances.
Because evidence can disappear quickly and important deadlines may apply, families should seek legal guidance as soon as possible.
