Legal Question in DUI Law in South Carolina

Re: Settlement for Daughter

Its hard to just quote a specific amount. Anytime I have one of those cases it has to be evalated on a case by case basis. It depends on the policy limits, how long ago it was, documentation from the doctors that substantiate not only past medical treatment but also the possibility of future medical treatment and its projected costs. We also need to consider lost wages and out of pocket expenses, and any possible scaring, disfigurement, physical limitations. Then there is the looking into any additional coverage such as Excess Coverage, Umbrella Policies, including UIM Policies, etc. As far as punitive damages, that all depends on what particular laws are involved and/or the outcome of any citations the at-fault driver received. As with pain and suffering, that too is compensible, but will depend on how the medical reports can be interpreted and applied. Every case has its own particular set of things to be considered. It would be doing you a disservice to guess at this. If you decide you may need an attorney you are welcome to call or email. Robert Johnston. Email: [email protected]
