South Carolina Wrongful Death Settlements

FAQ
[faq_block]Who is the settlement distributed to?
In South Carolina, wrongful death settlements are usually distributed to the victim’s spouse and children and, if the victim has neither of those then it goes to his or her surviving parents.
Is a wrongful death attorney something I can afford?
At Jeffcoat Injury and Car Accident Lawyers we only get paid if we win compensation for you. No money is ever paid to us or owed to us up front in a wrongful death case. No out-of-pocket costs or expenses, in other words. Because our Columbia wrongful death attorney’s payment is contingent upon you receiving a settlement, you can afford an experienced wrongful death attorney.
Is my spouse’s death a wrongful death?
If your spouse died as a result of someone else’s negligence, his or her death could be a wrongful death in the eyes of the law.
