Wrongful Death Attorney
in South Carolina

Do you need a wrongful death lawyer in South Carolina?

Why not hire an attorney who covers the entire state of South Carolina, so you don’t have to worry about “home cooking”? Why not hire a lawyer who gets experts from across the country who are tops in their fields? Doesn’t your family deserve that kind of no-nonsense representation?

Our experience with The Law Offices of David Hood was extremely pleasant. Mr. Hood is very knowledgeable and helpful. Tracey Weiland was very helpful and patient with our special needs. They were there during a difficult process for us. Went out of their way to explain things and walk us through the legal process. Thanks so much. Highly recommend their practice.

The thing that I love most about them is that they listened to me thoroughly and didn’t try to interrupt until I was finished. Everything was related to me in layman’s terms and they made sure to ask that if I had any questions about anything. The fact that David came down from Columbia just to speak with me in person spoke VOLUMES TO ME! Peter, Ali and everyone that had a hand in case were always very professional and I always knew what was going on with anything involving my case. They took my case when a prominent firm in my city stated that they couldn’t help me so I feel very BLESSED that I had them fighting for me. A GODSENT!

Frequently Asked Questions:

In South Carolina, it can be tough, but it’s doable. If you’re dealing with a defective product, you’ll need an engineer to say the product was the primary cause of the wrongful death. With medical malpractice, an expert needs to review all the records and sign an affidavit swearing that they believe medical malpractice was committed. Then it’s time to prepare the case for Court, have a mediation, then trial, if it can’t be settled.

In South Carolina, it’s 2 to 3 years. Two years if you’re suing the government, or a county hospital or MUSC. If it’s a company, like Ford, you have 3 years. There may be exceptions, like when the malpractice isn’t discovered for several years.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in South Carolina?

In South Carolina, the people closest to the victim typically file the lawsuit. It’s normally the deceased’s spouse, then the minor children, then the adult children and finally, the deceased’s parents.
