Personal injury laws exist to help the injured and their families when they have suffered due to another’s negligent actions. There are, however, legal nuances that make navigating a claim on your own difficult. The statute of limitations, for example, gives injured parties a three-year window from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit against those responsible. This timeframe is essential, as failing to act can result in forfeiting your right to seek compensation. Additionally, an understanding of the state’s comparative negligence laws and limits on punitive damages is essential.
Like personal injury claims, workers’ compensation is designed to protect and support employees and employers. Governed by the comprehensive provisions outlined in the South Carolina Code of Laws Title 42, this legal framework mandates that businesses with four or more employees must have workers’ compensation coverage in the event of a work-related injury or illness. This insurance is meant to help injured employees receive the necessary medical treatment and financial compensation for lost wages, as well as to help ensure a safe and productive workplace.
Navigating the claims process, especially when you are focused on healing, can seem like a daunting task. Smith & Griffith, LLP is ready to help.

Not only was he able to go up and beyond the call of duty for me, he knows his client and your not a number to him. John was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible.
I highly recommend this law firm. King Smith represented me for a wreck in 2019 and obtained a fair and fast resolution to my claim.
We're at the end of the case now and I have nothing but confidence in my attorney. After a workplace injury, friends wanted me to hire a lawyer. When I finally reached that point, John Griffith turned out to be the best match. I spoke with seven but he was the one lawyer of the bunch who seemed to want to work for me.
