Personal Injury Lawyers Serving the Lowcountry

After a serious accident, the days that follow rarely feel steady. There are medical appointments to keep, insurance adjusters calling before you’ve had a chance to think, and a growing sense that the people on the other side of the claim aren’t on your side at all. At Vaux Marscher Berglind, P.A., our attorneys take over the legal side of your personal injury claim so you can focus on your health and your family instead of paperwork and phone calls.

Experienced, Local Personal Injury Representation

Vaux Marscher Berglind, P.A. was founded in 1973 by attorney Roberts Vaux, and our attorneys today draw on more than 100 years of combined legal experience. That history means our approach to a personal injury claim is methodical rather than reactive: gathering the accident report, medical records, and any available photos or witness statements before the details fade or evidence disappears. We deal directly with insurance adjusters on your behalf, since early conversations with an adjuster are often where claims get undervalued. If a fair settlement isn’t on the table, we prepare the claim as though it’s headed to litigation, because insurers tend to negotiate differently once they know a firm is prepared to file suit. Throughout, we aim to keep you informed in plain language: what stage the claim is at, what to expect next, and what decisions are yours to make.

Types of Personal Injury Claims We Handle

Personal injury covers a wide range of situations, and each carries its own evidence timeline and insurance dynamics. We represent clients across:

Car accidents – collisions involving negligent, distracted, or impaired drivers

Commercial vehicle accidents – crashes involving delivery trucks, rideshare vehicles, or company fleet vehicles, which often involve multiple insurance policies

Premises liability – injuries from unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, such as falls, inadequate security, or negligent maintenance

Workers’ compensation – crashes involving delivery trucks, rideshare vehicles, or company fleet vehicles, which often involve multiple insurance policies

Because each of these involves different deadlines, evidence, and insurance structures, we tailor the early investigation to the specific type of claim rather than treating them all the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions

As soon as you’re able to. Evidence like skid marks, security footage, and witness memory degrade quickly, and some insurance notice requirements have short deadlines. Contacting a lawyer early doesn’t commit you to anything, but it does preserve options that disappear with time.

Most personal injury claims settle before trial, but we prepare every case as though it might not. Insurers tend to offer more reasonable settlements when they know the firm representing you is genuinely prepared to litigate rather than settle quickly for less.

South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you may still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. We evaluate fault carefully before advising on next steps.

A personal injury claim generally involves a third party’s negligence, while workers’ compensation covers on-the-job injuries regardless of fault, through a different legal process with its own rules and deadlines. Some situations, such as a workplace injury caused by a non-employer third party, can involve both.
