There may be. In South Carolina, the family members of individuals killed in car accidents someone else caused can pursue compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. Like other car accident claims, wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within three years after the accident occurred. This type of claim can be filed by the administrator or executor of the deceased’s estate on behalf of family members. An experienced car accident lawyer can guide you through this process and help you put your lives back together after the loss of a loved one.
