Legal Question in Personal Injury in South Carolina
Accident & Civil Suits
My husband was hit by a 18 wheeler in December 1999.
We keep getting stalled from both our lawyer and the
insurance company for the trucking company. I would
like to know what statue of limitations are for a
civil suit against the driver and trucking company
