Do you have a potential personal injury claim in Aiken County?

If someone’s negligence caused your injuries, you may have the right to file a personal injury claim. To build a strong case, our team will work to prove the following:

  • Duty of care: The other party had a legal responsibility to act with reasonable care to avoid causing harm.
  • Breach of duty: They failed to meet that responsibility—through action, inaction, or careless behavior.
  • Causation: That failure directly caused your injuries.
  • Damages: You suffered measurable harm, such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.

We’ll investigate every detail to determine if these elements are present—and if they are, we’ll fight to hold the at-fault party accountable.

What types of compensation can you claim?

Once we establish that someone else is responsible for your injuries, the next step is to determine the full extent of your losses. A personal injury claim isn’t just about proving fault—it’s about making sure you’re properly compensated.

You may be entitled to:

  • Economic damages: These cover your financial losses—like medical expenses, lost wages, and the cost of future care or rehabilitation.
  • Non-economic damages: These account for personal losses that don’t come with a receipt, such as physical pain, emotional suffering, and reduced quality of life.
  • Punitive damages: In cases involving extreme misconduct or willful negligence, the court may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter others.

At Hawk Law Group, we’ll work with trusted experts to calculate every dollar you deserve—then fight to recover it.

Important initial advice after being injured

Once you’ve seen a doctor and the immediate crisis has passed, your next steps matter. The decisions you make now can impact your recovery—and your ability to get full compensation.

Here’s what to do:

  • Attend all medical appointments and follow your doctor’s advice. Gaps in treatment can be used against you by the insurance company.
  • Stay off social media. Posts, comments, or even photos can be taken out of context and used to challenge your claim.
  • Don’t accept the first offer from the insurance company. These early offers are often far less than what your case is actually worth.
  • Be mindful of what you say to insurers. Even casual language can be twisted into an admission of fault.
  • Get in touch with our Aiken County personal injury lawyers. The sooner we’re involved, the more we can do to protect your rights and build a strong case.

⚠️ Waiting too long to take action can hurt your case. Let us guide you through your next steps.

Your deadline for filing a claim

In South Carolina, you typically have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This legal deadline is called the statute of limitations.
If you miss this window, you may lose your right to recover compensation—no matter how strong your case is.

If you miss this window, you may lose your right to recover compensation—no matter how strong your case is.

Some exceptions may apply, but they’re rare. That’s why it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

⚠️ Don’t wait. The sooner you contact our Aiken County personal injury lawyers, the sooner we can begin protecting your rights and preserving key evidence.

Gathering evidence relating to your case

Building a strong personal injury claim starts with the right evidence. But collecting everything on your own can be overwhelming—especially when you’re injured and trying to recover.

Key evidence may include:

  • Police or incident reports that document the details of the accident
  • Medical records showing your diagnosis, treatment plan, and recovery timeline
  • Eyewitness statements from people who saw what happened
  • Photos or video footage of the accident scene, property damage, or visible injuries

💡 You don’t have to do this alone. Our team at Hawk Law Group will take over the process—gathering documents, speaking to witnesses, and working with experts—so you can focus on healing while we focus on results.

What can I expect to pay?

At Hawk Law Group, you don’t pay anything upfront—and you won’t owe us a thing unless we win your case.

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means our fee is a percentage of the total compensation we recover for you. This gives you access to top-tier legal representation without the burden of hourly legal fees or retainer costs. If we don’t win, you don’t pay. It’s that simple.

Frequently asked questions

How hard is it to win a personal injury lawsuit?
