Frequently Asked Questions

Answers From Our Attorneys

What does a personal injury lawyer in South Carolina do?

A personal injury attorney investigates your accident, gathers evidence, negotiates with insurance companies, and represents you in South Carolina courts to recover full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

How much does it cost to hire Pettus Farnsworth?

Your initial consultation is completely free. Most personal injury and wrongful death cases are handled on contingency - you pay nothing unless we recover money for you. Call 864.250.9119 to discuss your specific case.

What cities in South Carolina does Pettus Farnsworth serve?

We serve clients throughout Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Simpsonville, Greer, Easley, Mauldin, Taylors, Pickens, and all of Upstate South Carolina, plus Keysville and surrounding areas of Virginia.

Should I refuse a breathalyzer test in South Carolina?

Refusing carries an automatic 6-month license suspension under SC implied consent law but removes a key piece of prosecution evidence. Call our Greenville DUI attorneys at 864.250.9119 immediately - we advise clients around the clock.

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in SC?

South Carolina generally allows three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wrongful death also has a three-year limit. Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim - contact us immediately to preserve your rights.

What should I do right after a car accident in South Carolina?

Call 911, seek immediate medical attention, photograph the scene, collect witness information, and do NOT give a recorded statement to any insurance company. Call Pettus Farnsworth at 864.250.9119 before accepting any settlement offer.
