Si usted o un familiar sufre una lesión, podría beneficiarse de hablar con nuestros abogados de lesiones personales de Carolina del Sur en Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers. A menudo, la compañía de seguros de la persona que causó la lesión intentará llegar a un acuerdo con usted antes de que tenga la oportunidad de contratar a un abogado. Esto se debe a que la compañía de seguros sabe que probablemente pueda resolver el caso por menos dinero si no cuenta con un abogado. Investigaremos su caso y obtendremos las declaraciones de testigos, documentos, fotografías y otros materiales necesarios para proteger sus derechos.
Sí. En la consulta inicial, uno de nuestros abogados de accidentes de Carolina del Sur de Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers se reunirá con usted. Durante el resto de nuestra representación, un abogado y un asistente legal participarán en la tramitación de su reclamación.
Es posible que tenga que acudir a los tribunales, aunque no es algo inevitable. Los abogados de Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers intentarán primero negociar un acuerdo justo en su nombre. Si nuestras negociaciones resultan en una oferta de acuerdo que usted apruebe, el caso se resolverá y no tendrá que acudir a los tribunales. Si no se logra un acuerdo satisfactorio, podremos proceder a presentar una demanda (con su aprobación). Una vez presentada formalmente la demanda, podría ser necesario acudir a los tribunales. Sin embargo, es importante recordar que la mayoría de los casos se resuelven sin necesidad de presentar una demanda, y si se presenta una, no hay garantía de que se celebre un juicio. De hecho, muchos casos se resuelven días o semanas antes de la fecha del juicio, o incluso en la misma puerta del juzgado.
En caso de que su lesión le impida viajar a nuestra oficina, uno de nuestros abogados de lesiones de Carolina del Sur de Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers se reunirá con usted en su casa, el hospital o cualquier lugar de reunión que usted designe.
Un caso concluye cuando se llega a un acuerdo o un veredicto del jurado. Tenga en cuenta que puede aceptar un acuerdo antes de presentar una demanda, después de presentarla e incluso después de que el caso haya sido juzgado, pero antes de que el jurado emita un veredicto. Sin embargo, una vez que el jurado emite un veredicto, la decisión es definitiva, a menos que usted o la otra parte decidan apelar.

Quizás. Según las normas de negligencia comparativa de Carolina del Sur, aún tiene derecho a un caso siempre que no haya tenido más del 51 % de responsabilidad por el accidente. Sin embargo, cualquier indemnización que reciba podría reducirse proporcionalmente a su propia culpa. Por ejemplo, si sus daños ascienden a $100,000 y se determina que usted tiene un 25 % de culpa, la indemnización se reduciría en $25,000 (el 25 % de $100,000), a $75,000.
Tiene derecho a cambiar de abogado; sin embargo, su abogado inicial generalmente tendrá derecho al pago por los servicios prestados hasta el momento del despido. El abogado recibirá su pago con los honorarios obtenidos al concluir el caso. Su nuevo abogado generalmente llegará a un acuerdo para dividir los honorarios entre ambos. Según la Regla 4.2 del Poder Judicial de Carolina del Sur, es poco ético que un abogado consulte con alguien que ya ha contratado a otro abogado. Si desea despedir a su abogado y se comunica con nuestro bufete, le solicitaremos una carta de descargo de su abogado anterior antes de poder asesorarlo en su caso.
Sí. Cada abogado ve un caso potencial de forma diferente. Es posible que algunos abogados no estén familiarizados con el tipo de caso que usted tiene. Si un abogado rechaza su caso, es recomendable buscar una segunda opinión. Contacte hoy mismo con uno de nuestros abogados de lesiones personales de Carolina del Sur para hablar sobre su caso.

Yes. Different lawyers will see a potential case differently. Some lawyers may not be familiar with the type of case you have. If a lawyer rejects your case, it is a good idea to seek a second opinion. Contact one of our South Carolina injury lawyers about your case today.
You have the right to change lawyers, however, your initial attorney will usually be entitled to payment for services rendered up to the time of dismissal. The lawyer will be paid from the fee earned at the conclusion of the case. Your new lawyer will usually work out an arrangement whereby the fee is split between the two lawyers. Under South Carolina Judicial Branch Rule 4.2, it is unethical for an attorney to consult with a person who has already retained another attorney. If you seek to fire your attorney and contact our firm, we will ask that you provide a Letter of Release from your prior attorney before we can advise you on your case.
Maybe. Under South Carolina’s comparative negligence rules, you still have a case as long as you were not more than 51 percent responsible for the accident. Any settlement or award you receive, however, may be reduced in proportion to your own fault. For instance, if your damages are $100,000 and you are found to be 25 percent at fault, the award would be reduced by $25,000 (25 percent of $100,000) to $75,000.

A case concludes when a settlement is reached or a verdict is reached by a jury. Note that you can decide to accept a settlement before filing a lawsuit, after filing a lawsuit, and even after a case has been tried but before a jury reaches a verdict. Once a jury reaches a verdict, however, the decision is final – unless you or the other party decides to appeal.
In the event your injury prevents you from traveling to our office, one of our South Carolina injury lawyers from Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers will meet with you at your house, the hospital, or any meeting place you designate.
You may have to go to court, although it is by no means a foregone conclusion. Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers’s lawyers will first attempt to negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf. Should our negotiations produce a settlement offer that you approve of, the case will be resolved and you will not have to go to court. If a satisfactory settlement is not possible, we may proceed with filing a lawsuit (again, with your approval). Once a lawsuit is formally filed, it may be necessary to go to court. However, it is important to remember that most cases settle without the need to file a lawsuit, and if a lawsuit is filed, there is no guarantee that a trial will actually happen. In fact, many cases settle days or weeks before a trial date, or even on the courthouse steps.
Yes. At the initial consultation, one of our South Carolina accident attorneys from Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers will meet with you. Throughout the remainder of our representation of you, a lawyer and a legal assistant will be involved in the handling of your claim.
If you or a family member experiences an injury, you could benefit from speaking to our South Carolina personal injury lawyers at Joye Law Firm Injury Lawyers.

We will investigate your case and obtain the necessary witness statements, documents, photographs, and other materials to protect your rights.
