Types of Personal Injury Compensation in South Carolina

​

If you believe that your injuries were caused by another person who acted negligently, recklessly, or intentionally, you may be entitled to compensation for the financial, physical, and emotional consequences of that person’s actions.

​

In a typical personal injury lawsuit, the injured party (you) may seek economic, noneconomic, and punitive damages. The economic damages will include out-of-pocket expenses, medical bills, unemployment, and lost wages. Noneconomic damages might include pain and suffering, emotional distress, mental anguish, and a reduced enjoyment of life.

​

In some cases, an injury victim might receive punitive damages. Your law firm can help you request punitive damages. If a judge or jury decides to award the injured party punitive damages, the amount cannot be more than three times the economic and non-economic damages combined, or a total of $500,000 dollars. Punitive damages are meant to deter the defendant and others from similar acts.
