What Deadlines Do I Need To Worry About With Personal Injury Claims?

While it is always a good idea to file a claim as early as possible, residents of South Carolina have three years to file an accident injury claim. This is explained more thoroughly in S.C. Code Ann. section 15-3-530. Remember, while three years sounds like a long time, it could take months before you know the extent of your medical treatment and your financial losses. That is why you must seek legal advice early on—an attorney can ensure you do not miss any important deadlines and properly file your claim.
