At Nowell Law Firm, we treat every single client with the care we would want our loved ones to receive. Your case isn’t just a file number—it literally decides how you will recover from your injury and how easy it will be for you to get back to normal. That’s a huge responsibility, so we fight aggressively for each of our clients. Our attorneys have tackled a wide range of personal injury claims, giving us the flexibility and experience needed to choose the right approach for your claim.

We have seen how hard insurance companies will work to deny victims the compensation they deserve. Whether it’s outright lying about the facts of an accident, trying to pin your injuries on a pre-existing injury, or even hiring a private investigator to follow you, they will go to impressive lengths to cheat you.

We also know how to fight against these underhanded tactics and give our clients a fair shot at compensation. We’ll keep you informed every step of the process, giving you options and helping you figure out the best path forward.

The Cases We Handle

Our team accepts many types of personal injury claims in Wellford, including:

• Car accidents: Car accidents were responsible for nearly 48,000 injuries in South Carolina in 2020. Whether you’ve been involved in a rear-end, side impact, or head-on crash, we’ll help you fight for compensation.
• Truck accidents: Tractor-trailers cause massive amounts of damage when they collide with a car or rollover. If you’re hurt in a truck accident, you’ll need assistance holding the trucking company accountable.
• Motorcycle accidents: As a motorcyclist, you are at greater risk of serious accidents than those in passenger vehicles. Your vehicle offers minimal protection, and drivers aren’t known for being careful around motorcycles. Talk to us if you’ve been hurt in a motorcycle crash.
• Premises liability: When you get hurt on someone else’s property, whether residential or commercial, you may be entitled to compensation. Property owners have an obligation to protect visitors from avoidable danger.
• Bus accidents: If a bus accident has left you with bodily harm or property damage, you may need to sue the private bus company or, if it’s a city bus, the government. We can help you with these unique claims.
• Bicycle accidents: Although bicyclists have rights on the road, many drivers are simply unaware or reckless around bicyclists. We’ll fight for the compensation you deserve after a bicycle accident.

Factors Affecting Your Personal Injury Claim

If you’ve never had to pursue a personal injury claim, you may wonder how much money you’re entitled to. The fact is, there are a lot of factors that determine how much your claim is worth—or if you even have a valid claim. They include:

• The severity of your injuries
• Whether or not you are partially to blame for the accident
• The extent of your pain and suffering
• How much evidence you have
• The prognosis for your injury
• The other party’s insurance limits
• Your choice of attorney

Fighting for Compensation

Should you be able to prove the other party’s liability, you may be entitled to compensation. In most cases, this compensation comes in the form of a settlement. But if the other party’s insurance company refuses to negotiate fairly, you may have to go to court to fight for what you deserve. A fair settlement or court award may contain compensation for:

• Medical expenses, bills, and supplies
• Lost income and wages
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Loss of quality of life
• Loss of consortium

The more you’re able to prove your losses, the easier it will be to get what you deserve. Your attorney may recommend different tools to demonstrate your journey to recovery. A personal injury journal is a useful tool in some cases, especially when used alongside medical bills, medical reports, repair estimates, police reports, and other forms of documentation.

What to Do After an Injury

Taking the right steps after a personal injury can protect your legal rights and help you get the medical care you need. We recommend:

• Report the accident to the appropriate people. If you are hurt on someone else’s property, you’ll report the accident to either the homeowner or the business owner. If you’re involved in any sort of motor vehicle accident, you’ll call the Wellford Police Department.
• Gather time-sensitive evidence. You should take photos of the accident scene and any injuries you’ve sustained. If there are any eyewitnesses, get their contact information before they leave.
• Seek medical treatment. Going to the doctor right away is crucial if you want to prove that your injuries are the result of the accident. Local facilities include AFC Urgent Care, Immediate Care Center, and Pelham Medical Center.
• Reach out to a lawyer. The sooner you get in touch with a Wellford personal injury attorney, the sooner you can start fighting for the compensation you’re owed.
