Military Personal Injury Lawyer in Columbia, South Carolina

Whether you injured yourself where you live or were off base and were injured due to another person’s negligence, the legal team at Best & Flatt, P.A. is here to serve you and your family. No one plans to be involved in an accident, but when an accident happens and you’re faced with a personal injury, you need legal assistance. After you or a loved one are injured, it is important to secure the services of an accident attorney quickly, so your case is investigated and properly documented for future representation. Left too long, evidence can be destroyed or lost, and the details that witnesses can provide grow foggy.

If you were the victim of someone else’s negligence or unreasonable actions, you could be faced with a never-ending stream of medical bills as well as constant pain and suffering. That’s why you need an experienced accident attorney representing you. Speaking with legal counsel should come second only to obtaining proper medical care. When you choose Best & Flatt, P.A., our attorney will personally keep you up-to-date and well informed from start to finish. Plus, we have the know-how to stand up to big insurance companies who want to settle quickly for less than you may be entitled.

If you are active military and were injured in South Carolina or Georgia, contact a personal injury lawyer at Best & Flatt, P.A. We’re experienced in handling nonservice-related accident claims that happen on or off base. Our accident attorneys will be actively involved in every aspect of your case to ensure that everything is well documented and properly presented. We can’t guarantee the outcome of any case, but we can fight for your right to receive a fair and reasonable settlement. To discuss the details of your accident, contact us today for an initial consultation.
