Law Office of Kenneth E. Berger, LLC

If the drunk driver that hit you did not have insurance coverage or enough coverage to cover all the costs of your injuries, you can file an uninsured or underinsured claim with your insurance provider. You may also be able to hold the bar or restaurant that overserved the drunk driver financially responsible for the harm you endured.

Truck accident cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 3 or more years to settle depending on the severity of the injuries caused in the truck wreck. Consult with our truck accident attorneys to discuss your case's timeline.

When a truck driver is found at-fault in a truck accident case, there are multiple parties that may be held accountable for the harm caused including the driver, trucking company, manufacturer, distributor, and/or the maintenance team.

If you have health insurance, you should use it for all treatment related to your injury. If you don't have health insurance, an attorney may write a letter of protection on your behalf promising to pay the doctor's fee out of your recovery, so that you can continue to receive the medical treatment you need. Contact our firm for more information.

Our firm handles all cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay anything unless we secure a recovery on your behalf. For more information or to request a free consultation, please contact our firm at (803) 790-2800.

In most cases, you have 3 years to file a personal injury lawsuit against a non-governmental defendant. However, you only have 2 years to file suit against a governmental defendant such as a county hospital, local police department, or government official. In most cases, the clock starts on the day the incident (car accident, boating crash, etc.) occurred. If you have more questions about the statute of limitations in your situation, we'd be happy to speak with you. Please give us a call to schedule a free consultation.

Losing a loved one is always hard, but it can be especially difficult when you know their death could have been avoided. If you have lost a family member or friend due to negligence, you have the right to hold the responsible company or person accountable for their wrongdoing. Our injury firm handles wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases, and we are here to help with any questions you may have during this difficult time.

If you were injured in a car wreck, we recommend consulting with a car accident lawyer to determine if you need to hire an attorney or if you're better off handling the claim on your own. You may be able to present the insurance company with evidence like lost wage forms and medical bills, but in many cases, you may benefit from working with a lawyer. Because attorneys have experience negotiating with insurance adjusters, they’ll better understand how to present your story in the context of the law and maximize your recovery. If the insurance company still refuses to pay a full, fair settlement, an injury lawyer can help you file a lawsuit and even take your case to trial if necessary.
