Personal Injury
Persistent lawyers in Oconee County helping you get compensation
When you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, Stoudemire & Sprouse helps you get compensation. We set a measured pace that gives you the best chance of achieving the maximum financial recovery. South Carolina allows three years from the date of your accident until a lawsuit must be filed. We take full advantage of this time, allowing you to heal. We file a lawsuit when we have a clear picture of your injuries and can reasonably predict their lasting impact on your finances and overall quality of life.
How we prove that you are entitled to damages
Personal injury cases in South Carolina are subject to the 51 percent rule. This means that when you are injured in an accident, you may be entitled to a damage award if you were up to half at fault. But if the jury finds that you were 51 percent at fault or more for the accident, you cannot collect an award.
Stoudemire & Sprouse has helped countless people prove they were no more than half at fault for their injuries from events including:

We also handle more complex injury cases that focus sharply on the negligent person or company, such as medical malpractice claims and defective product lawsuits. In all injury claims, our attorneys study the evidence, interview witnesses and call upon experts to testify on your behalf.
