Find Out What Your Case Is WorthAfter 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.
We take a hands-on, aggressive approach to every car accident case.
We listen to your story, review the details of your accident, and give you an honest assessment of your legal options. No cost. No obligation.
Our team gathers police reports, medical records, witness statements, photos, and video footage. We bring in experts when needed to strengthen your case.
We identify every category of loss you have suffered and will continue to suffer. We make sure nothing gets left on the table.
We negotiate from a position of strength. Our track record of multi-million dollar results gives us leverage most firms do not have.
If the insurance company refuses fair compensation, we take your case to court. Our willingness to fight is exactly why insurers take our demands seriously.
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.
You did not ask to be in this situation, but you do have the power to protect yourself and your family right now. The attorneys at Hughey Law Firm have spent years holding reckless drivers, negligent companies, and insurance corporations accountable.
Your free consultation is exactly that: free. No fees. No pressure. No obligation.
