Our experience with Hughey Law Firm was absolutely wonderful. Brad set the expectations on our initial visit, and all of the milestones that marked each expectation were timely and meaningful. While we were pleased with the settlement amount, we were greatly impressed that Brad and his team went the extra mile to significantly reduce the amount of the medical liens.

My sister and I contacted approximately 50 law firms in South Carolina and Georgia . None of them wanted to pursue our medical malpractice claim. We can’t thank Hughey Law Firm enough for taking our case, and the tremendous amount of detail, professionalism, respect and knowledge shown to our family.

Find Out What Your Case Is Worth

Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side

After a car accident, the other driver’s insurance company may reach out quickly. They might sound sympathetic. They might offer to settle within days. But their goal is to pay you as little as possible.

Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Their tactics include:

Pressuring you to give a recorded statement before you speak with an attorney

Offering a quick, lowball settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries

Claiming your injuries were pre-existing or unrelated to the accident

Delaying your claim in hopes that you will accept less out of financial desperation

Monitoring your social media for anything they can use against you

Nathan Hughey knows these tactics firsthand because he used to work on the insurance company’s side. Now he uses that inside knowledge to protect accident victims. When we take over your case, we handle all communication with the adjusters so you never risk saying the wrong thing. You focus on healing. We handle everything else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing upfront. Hughey Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay zero fees unless we win your case. Our payment comes from a percentage of the compensation we recover for you, not from your pocket.

Under South Carolina law, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, waiting too long can hurt your case because evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and the insurance company gains leverage. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault for the crash. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault, you could still recover 80% of your total damages.

No. Do not give a recorded statement or accept any settlement offer before speaking with an attorney. Insurance adjusters are trained to get you to say things that can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Let our legal team handle all communications on your behalf.

You may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. South Carolina requires insurance companies to offer UM/UIM coverage, and many drivers carry it without realizing it. Our attorneys will review all available policies to identify every possible source of recovery.

Every case is different. Some claims settle within a few months, while complex cases involving severe injuries or disputed liability may take longer. Our goal is always to resolve your case as quickly as possible while ensuring you receive full and fair compensation.
