South Carolina injury law, in plain English
South Carolina is an at-fault state. You can recover as long as you are 50% or less at fault, though your award is reduced by your share. Most injury claims must be filed within three years, but evidence fades much sooner.
South Carolina requires every auto policy to include uninsured motorist coverage, so even if the other driver had none, you likely have a path to recovery.
