Reginald Williams and Delores Hubbard v. Paragron Leasing, L.P., et al.
Date: 08-04-2023
Case Number: 3:22-cv-00921
Judge: Sherri A Lydon
Court: United States District Court for the District of South Carolina (Richland County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: Sydney Lynn
Defendant's Attorney: Megan Early-Soppa and Rob Mosley
Description:
Columbia, South Carolina personal injury lawyer represented Plaintiff who sued Defendants on auto negligence theories.
"South Carolina is a modified comparative negligence state. This means that if you are injured in a car accident, your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for the accident, your damages will be reduced by 20%.
The modified comparative negligence rule in South Carolina is different from the pure comparative negligence rule, which is used in some other states. Under the pure comparative negligence rule, your damages are not reduced by your percentage of fault, even if you are found to be more than 50% at fault.
To recover damages in a car accident in South Carolina, you must prove that the other driver was negligent. Negligence is defined as the failure to use reasonable care. In a car accident case, this means that the other driver must have failed to do something that a reasonable person would have done in the same situation, or they must have done something that a reasonable person would not have done.
There are many factors that can be considered in determining whether a driver was negligent, including:
The speed of the vehicles involved in the accident.
The weather conditions at the time of the accident.
The road conditions at the time of the accident.
The actions of the other driver before, during, and after the accident.
If you are injured in a car accident in South Carolina, you should speak to an attorney to discuss your case. An attorney can help you understand your legal rights and options and can represent you in court if necessary.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind about South Carolina auto negligence law:
The statute of limitations for car accident cases in South Carolina is three years. This means that you must file your lawsuit within three years of the date of the accident.
There are a number of damages that you may be able to recover in a car accident case, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.
If you are injured in a car accident, you should seek medical attention immediately. This will help to document your injuries and make it easier to prove your case.
You should also gather evidence of the accident, such as photos of the damage, police reports, and witness statements.
If you have been injured in a car accident in South Carolina, you should speak to an attorney to discuss your case."
