PERSONAL INJURY AND PREMISES LIABILITY
Have you or a loved one suffered a personal injury in South Carolina? Getting hurt can be traumatic and add unneeded stress and expenses to your life. After an injury, you may be unable to work, spend quality time with loved ones, or even do normal daily activities like walking or running. Your injury can also add immense medical bills and financial strain on top of an already stressful situation.
If you believe that someone else's negligence caused your injury, you may be eligible for financial compensation to help you deal with the aftermath of your experience. Jones Law can help people like you recover damages from the at fault parties that were responsible for your losses and suffering.
At Jones Law, we want to talk with you about your potential case. If we don't feel that our firm in Columbia is the best option for your particular case, we pride ourselves in working to connect you with a firm that might be a better fit.
DON'T SIGN THAT RELEASE JUST YET!
Trust the insurance adjuster at your own peril
Does that first offer from the insurance adjuster in your personal injury claim seem a little too good to be true? Did it come much quicker than you were expecting? Ask yourself why they're hurrying to get you to resolve your claim against them. Often times, they're rushing to try to settle the case before the claimant has an opportunity to speak with a lawyer.
Remember that insurance companies make their money by NOT paying out on all of the claims that are made against their insureds. Insurance companies have an incentive to deny your claim or to pay you less than your claim may be worth because that improves their bottom line.
Some insurance companies will do the right thing and pay you a fair value for your injury claim. In those cases, it doesn't always make sense to hire a lawyer. In those situations, you are better off not having to pay a lawyer a fee for their services. The challenge, however, is determining what exactly a "fair value" for your claim is--particularly if you do not regularly deal with injury claims.
At Jones Law, our goal is to make sure that you are not being taken advantage of by a skilled and experienced insurance adjuster, whether your injury occurred in Columbia or anywhere else in South Carolina. Lawyers are also known as "counselors" because part of our job is to counsel our clients on the likely fair value of their claim--as well as on the best strategy going forward.
Have an unusual case?
At Jones Law, we handle all types of civil litigation that may not neatly fit into one of the "What We Do" boxes. We still want to talk with you about your case to see if it is something we can help you with.
