Compassionate and Aggressive Representation
Charleston, South Carolina Wrongful Death Lawyers
A wrongful death action brings justice by holding the negligent party accountable for a preventable death. It also brings financial compensation for the actual monetary losses and the emotional losses of surviving family members.
At the law firm of Pierce, Herns, Sloan & McLeod LLC, we know that "winning" a lawsuit can't make up for a tragic death. But we aggressively pursue maximum compensation for clients, knowing that families will need that money to cover lost earnings and contributions of the deceased.
Our Charleston trial lawyers have handled more than 40 wrongful death and survival actions throughout the Tri-County area, across South Carolina and in neighboring states, including settlements or jury verdicts for:
- Trucking accidents
- Train accidents
- Fatal car accidents
- SUV rollovers
- Construction accidents
- Dangerous machinery or products
- Electrocution, fires or explosions
Wrongful Death Damages
South Carolina's laws are favorable to survivors, but you still need an attorney experienced in wrongful death and personal injury litigation to prove liability and calculate damages. The estate can recover medical and funeral expenses, projected earnings and compensation for pain and suffering of the loved one prior to death. Beneficiaries are also entitled to sue for damages for the loss of society, consortium, love and comfort of the deceased.
Representing clients throughout the Tri-County area, including Sumter, Orangeburg, Williamsburg, Clarendon, Georgetown, Horry, Jasper, Allendale, Richland, Beaufort, Hampton, Darlington, Colleton, Florence, Berkely, and Dorchester.
We strive to take care of all of the details for our grieving clients and to provide compassionate support during this difficult time. You should contact an attorney as soon as possible to begin the investigation — there is a statute of limitation to bring a wrongful death lawsuit.
