They Blame You for the Accident

Whether you’ve been hurt in a car, truck or motorcycle accident, most often there is a collision between your vehicle and the other driver’s vehicle. This means there is a chance for the parties to argue over who is responsible for the crash.

Even if the other driver’s fault is obvious (they ran a red light, crossed into oncoming traffic, fell asleep at the wheel, drove drunk), they might still say you were at least partially to blame and could have avoided the crash had you not been speeding, talking to a passenger, or following too close. These arguments are dangerous to your case. Any percentage of negligence assigned to you will reduce your monetary award by that percentage. If you are thought to be more than 50% to blame, then you cannot recover anything from the other driver under South Carolina’s comparative fault law.

Your case will benefit from having an experienced litigator like Gus Anastopoulo who can build a strong case that proves the other driver’s negligence while defending you against claims that your own negligence caused or contributed to the accident. Ultimately, it’s a jury that decides who is to blame for causing a crash. Our firm’s thorough case preparation puts us in the position to win at trial or settle your case outside of court for an appropriate amount.

They Dispute That You Are Seriously Injured

Car accident injuries can be severe and catastrophic. Even serious injuries, though, might not be readily apparent if they are not visible to the naked eye. In these cases, the other driver’s insurance company will downplay how seriously injured you are. They will say you are exaggerating your injury or pain, or they will claim you have a pre-existing condition that is causing your symptoms and has nothing to do with the crash. Allegations like these can hurt your position in settlement talks or before a jury. A large part of our case preparation at the Gus Anastopoulo Law Firm will be involved in documenting your injury and making sure you get appropriate medical care. We know how painful and debilitating car accident injuries can be, and we make sure the insurance company or the jury knows it too.
