Best & Flatt Personal Injury Attorneys

Have you been wrongfully injured due to someone else’s actions? If so, it is crucial that you consult a personal injury law firm in a timely manner to protect your right to seek compensation for damages. Personal injury is not a simple area of the law, and negotiating with seasoned insurance company adjusters can be confusing and frustrating. So, acting quickly by involving the resources of a legal professional is a wise first step following any type of accident with injuries.

You Don’t Have to Fight a Big Insurance Company Alone

The at-fault’s insurance company may attempt to make a quick settlement that may be well below your future medical and financial need. Since big insurance companies have teams of lawyers and tons of resources, choosing the right Columbia personal injury lawyer to protect your financial future is an important decision that should never be taken lightly. When an insurance adjuster unfairly denies your claim or offers you a settlement that is far below what your case is worth, it can be crucial to level the playing field.

Whom you select to investigate, document and present your case can make a big difference in the settlement that you receive. At Best & Flatt, our attorneys are solely devoted to plaintiff representation and can help you seek compensation for medical costs, loss of income, pain and suffering and other financial damages through a well-crafted personal injury or wrongful death claim. If a settlement cannot be reached with the at-fault’s insurance company, we are always prepared to represent your case in mediation or in front of a judge or jury.

Contact a Columbia Personal Injury Attorney Before It’s Too Late

South Carolina’s statute of limitations gives you 3 years from the date of your injury to file a suit in civil court if the case is against a non-governmental private defendant (there is a tolling of the statute of limitations for a claim of a minor for a certain period of time – get advice). But don’t wait - now is the time to contact Best & Flatt. In order to obtain the compensation you need, our lawyer must prove that the company or person who caused your damages was negligent or otherwise failed to live up to an applicable standard of care. So, it is vital that you discuss your case with an attorney promptly to ensure you are fully protected. A lack of action on your part can delay the start of a proper accident investigation, and crucial evidence supporting your claim could be lost forever.

Regardless of the extent of your injuries or the type of accident in which you were injured, our attorneys have a thorough understanding of South Carolina personal injury law and are well prepared to review your claim. Though no amount of money can make up for a loss of a life or replace the health you enjoyed before an accident, our goal is to obtain the compensation you will need going forward. In addition, while your case is pending, we can work with you and your family to make sure that you receive the medical care you deserve.

If you or a loved one were wrongfully injured due to an individual’s or corporation’s negligence, recklessness, dangerous acts or faulty products, our goal is to empower you by providing the information you need to make the right choices about your claim or lawsuit. As your advocate, Best & Flatt is honored to present your case and will work diligently to negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf.
