South Carolina Car Wreck
You are driving down the road and you look over to see someone texting on their phone, talking on their cell phone or as in one of our recent cases, turning around to look at their child in the back seat. As a result, car wrecks are very common in South Carolina. Every year, thousands of people are injured because someone was not paying attention, driving carelessly or driving intoxicated. Many times drivers are preoccupied. They may be on their cell phone, or simply not paying attention. It may be raining, snowing or icy road conditions. Some other factors that may contribute to your accident are:
- Drinking and Driving
- Speeding
- Hazardous Road Conditions
- Poor Weather
- Fatigue
- Reckless Driving
- An unsafe car
- Bad driving skills
You may be entitled to the following if you are injured by a careless driver:
- Medical Bill Payments (Past, Present & Future)
- Lost wages if the wreck causes you to miss work
- Pain and Suffering
- Payment for permanent injury
What do I do after my car wreck?
At the Joel Bieber Firm, we realize that every wreck is different. Amazingly, some of our clients only suffer minor injury and small bills, despite leaving behind a totaled car. Others suffer significant injury that may include broken bones, disc injuries and tendon damage, when the car only receives minor damage.
In the many years that we have been handling claims, we regularly see insurance representatives try to show up at our clients’ homes and attempt to get them to quickly sign a release to waive their rights. In some instances these adjustors even get angry when they find out we have been hired.
The insurance company has trained adjustors that are trying to quickly settle claims. At the Joel Bieber Firm we believe that we are able to put the law on your side. You don’t have to settle, until you know what the law allows. You have to understand the law to know what the law allows to fairly compensate. For instance, in the state of South Carolina, A person who violates a law or safety regulation may be responsible for punishment damages. At the Joel Bieber Firm we investigate and compile the necessary information to present to the insurance company.
If you or a loved one has been injured in car wreck, contact the Joel Bieber Firm today to discuss your claim. Let us help you, while you take care of getting better. If you want, we can even send someone to your home.
Do’s & Don’ts for the Auto Accident Victim
What's REALLY Happening with Auto Accident Claims
CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 has aired a three-part report that revealed the underhanded tactics that many insurance companies are using to save themselves billions of dollars by reducing claims paid to minor-impact crash victims. These tactics - dubbed the "Three Ds," delay, deny and defend - are discussed in the reports by former insurance industry insiders. CNN's investigative team's research and interviews revealed that multiple major insurance providers have employed these tactics during the course of the past 10 years. The result: 80 percent to 90 percent of accident victims settling without a fight for the small sums the companies offer. Often, these sums are as small as $50 and $100 when the victims are facing thousands of dollars lost.
