Every six seconds there is a car accident somewhere in the United States. That adds up to more than five million crashes a year. Closer to home, car wrecks in South Carolina kill on average between two and three of our friends, neighbors, and loved ones every single day.
Over the past decade, South Carolina has seen on average more than 800 deaths in car accidents every year and thousands of more injuries.
Statistics show that South Carolina’s roads are more dangerous than those in many states. In fact, the state’s death rate per 100 million miles traveled is 1.57, which is considerably more than the national average of 1.09 and the best state’s tally of 0.57.
Given these facts, it is no wonder that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls auto safety a “serious public health problem.”

We went to court and won a $500,000 verdict for a man who suffered a back injury. Please remember that every case is unique.
