How Will a Columbia Catastrophic Injury Attorney Help Me?

Catastrophic injuries can have lifelong impacts on those who have been injured, as well as their loved ones. Hiring a Columbia personal injury lawyer will ensure that you are being properly compensated for all past, present, and future care needs related to the accident. Here’s a general overview of how our law firm will assist your Columbia personal injury case:

  • Conducting a Thorough Investigation – Our lawyers will conduct a thorough investigation into what happened. We do this by obtaining and analyzing all available evidence, including but not limited to, police reports, witness testimony, medical records, security footage, black box data, and much more.
  • Valuing Damages – In addition, we will value all past, present, and future damages associated with the accident and injuries, including economic and noneconomic damages.
  • Aggressively Negotiating with Insurance Companies – We are trained and experienced in aggressively negotiating with insurance companies to protect your rights, and we won’t settle for less than what you truly deserve.
  • Work With Experts – Our lawyers may consult with experts across fields throughout your case such as medical specialists, forensic consultants, accident reconstructionists, and much more to optimize your claim.
  • Determining and Proving Liability – A key part in all South Carolina personal injury and wrongful death claims is to prove liability. We do this by proving that the at-fault party (or parties) acted negligently, as defined by South Carolina law, thus holding them responsible for your compensation.
  • Filing a Lawsuit – Should we not be able to come to a fair settlement with the insurance company, then we will file a lawsuit and fight for you in court.
  • Optimizing Your Case to Maximize Your Compensation – We fight to get you the entirety of what you’re owed while keeping you updated throughout your case.
  • Maintaining Progress – Our lawyers will ensure that all deadlines are met and keep your case moving forward so you can get the compensation you deserve in a timely manner.

Nobody should have to go through the aftermath of a catastrophic accident alone. We’re here to guide you seamlessly through the legal process so you can focus your time and energy into healing. At Cavanaugh & Thickens, LLC, our mission is to give you and your loved ones the best opportunity possible for the best future possible.
