Types of Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Cases We Handle
Our experienced legal team represents clients throughout Mauldin and surrounding communities in various personal injury and wrongful death cases, including the following:
Car Accidents
Car crashes in Mauldin occur due to aggressive driving, failure to yield the right of way, distracted driving behaviors, and other negligent behaviors. These dangerous actions can cause severe injuries requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Our legal team investigates crash scenes, reviews police reports, talks to witnesses, and works with accident reconstruction specialists when needed to build strong cases for our clients.
Truck Accidents
Due to their size and weight, commercial trucks traveling through Mauldin create unique dangers for other motorists. When trucking companies push drivers to meet unrealistic deadlines or fail to maintain their vehicles properly, devastating accidents can occur. We understand federal trucking regulations and how to prove negligence in truck accident cases.
Motorcycle Accidents
Mauldin motorcyclists face increased risks from drivers who fail to check blind spots, fail to maintain safe following distances, or are otherwise negligent. Without the protection of an enclosed vehicle, riders often suffer catastrophic injuries in motorcycle accidents. We help injured motorcyclists overcome bias and fight for fair compensation from negligent drivers.
Drunk Driving Accidents and Dram Shop Cases
Impaired drivers pose serious threats to Mauldin residents and visitors. If a drunk driver injures you, you may have claims against both the impaired driver and any establishments that continue serving alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person. Our team investigates all potential sources of liability in these cases.
Defective Highway and Construction
Poor road maintenance, inadequate signage, and unsafe construction zones create hazardous conditions for Mauldin motorists. Government entities and contractors must follow specific safety protocols to protect the public. We document dangerous conditions and hold responsible parties accountable for accidents caused by their negligence.
Premises Liability Accidents
Property owners in Mauldin have legal obligations to maintain safe conditions for visitors. Unrepaired walkways, insufficient lighting, and unmarked hazards can cause serious injuries. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate these premises liability incidents to establish property owner negligence and liability.
Medical Malpractice
Healthcare providers serving Mauldin residents must deliver care that meets accepted medical standards. Surgical errors, medication mistakes, diagnostic failures, and other mistakes can have devastating consequences. We work with medical experts to review cases and demonstrate how substandard care harmed our clients in medical malpractice cases.
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Mauldin families trust nursing homes to provide proper care for elderly loved ones. When nursing homes fail to maintain adequate staffing levels or adequately train employees, residents may suffer from falls, medication errors, or other preventable harm. We help families protect vulnerable seniors and seek accountability after nursing home abuse or neglect.
Workplace Accidents
Workers' compensation provides essential benefits after Mauldin workplace accidents. However, additional claims may exist against third parties whose negligence contributed to injuries. Our team investigates whether equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, or others share responsibility for workplace injuries.
Drowning Accidents
Swimming pools and natural bodies of water in Mauldin must have proper safety measures to prevent drownings. Property owners may be liable for resulting injuries or deaths when they fail to install adequate fencing, maintain safety equipment, provide appropriate supervision, or are otherwise negligent.
Daycare Neglect and Abuse
Parents in Mauldin expect daycares to protect their children's safety and well-being. Inadequate supervision, unsafe playground equipment, and failure to follow basic safety protocols can result in severe daycare neglect and abuse injuries. We help families hold negligent providers accountable.
Police Chase and Police Misconduct
We count on the police to keep us safe. However, when police officers are involved in reckless pursuits or use excessive force, serious injuries or death can result. We carefully review all of the facts in the case to determine what happened, who was responsible, and whether you may be able to recover damages.
Wrongful Death
Losing a family member due to another's negligence creates unimaginable grief and hardship. Our Mauldin wrongful death attorneys help surviving family members seek justice and compensation while always remembering your loss and honoring your loved one.
Protecting Your Rights After an Accident
Knowing what to do while you are shaken up from an accident can be challenging. If you are physically able to act, we encourage you to take the following steps to help protect your legal rights:
- Seek immediate medical attention for your injuries
- Take photos and videos of the accident scene and your injuries
- Gather contact information from witnesses
- Report the incident to the appropriate authorities
- Follow all treatment recommendations
