Car Accident Lawyers Serving the Lowcountry

Whether your car accident was a minor fender-bender or a serious collision, the physical and emotional stress that follows can be overwhelming, especially while you’re also trying to navigate an insurance company that isn’t on your side. 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 experience helping car accident victims get the medical care and financial recovery they need.

Why Documentation and Timing Matter After a Crash

Liability in a car accident case comes down to evidence: the police report, photos of the scene and vehicle damage, witness statements, and medical records connecting your injuries directly to the crash. Insurance companies routinely dispute or minimize claims when that documentation is thin, so the sooner it’s gathered, the stronger the claim. We handle the insurance communication directly so you’re not stuck negotiating your own claim while you’re still recovering, and we prepare every case as though it may need to go to court, since that preparation tends to produce better settlement offers.

Frequently Asked Questions

We generally advise against it, at least without speaking to an attorney first. Insurance adjusters are trained to ask questions in ways that can be used to minimize your claim later, even when you’re just describing what happened.

South Carolina requires drivers to carry uninsured motorist coverage as part of their own auto policy, which can provide compensation in these situations. Whether it applies, and how much coverage exists, depends on the specific policy involved.

South Carolina generally allows three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, though certain circumstances can shorten or extend that window. It’s best not to wait to find out which applies to your situation.
