Personal injury cases we handle in Greenville and the Upstate
Our Greenville personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of accident and injury cases, including:
- Car accidents: Car accidents are one of our primary practice areas. Greenville’s growth has made roads like Woodruff Road, Laurens Road, Pleasantburg Drive, and the I-85/I-385 interchange some of the busiest and most dangerous in the Upstate. Whether you were rear-ended in stop-and-go traffic, hit by a distracted driver, or involved in a serious highway collision, our attorneys know how to investigate the accident, deal with insurance adjusters, and build a case that reflects the full impact of your injuries.
- Truck accidents: I-85 runs right through Greenville, carrying heavy commercial truck traffic between Atlanta and Charlotte. Truck accident cases are more complex than standard car accident claims because they often involve commercial insurance policies, federal motor carrier regulations, and corporate legal teams. Our attorneys have recovered over $1M for a client hit by a commercial truck driven by a motorist who wasn’t properly licensed for interstate commerce.
- Motorcycle accidents: Motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries, and insurance companies are quick to blame the rider. We’ve recovered more than $600K in multiple motorcycle collision cases across Greenville, Anderson, and Pickens counties, and we know how to push back against bias and protect your right to full compensation.
- Wrongful death: Losing a loved one because of someone else’s negligence is devastating. Our attorneys have handled wrongful death cases involving head-on collisions, hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving incidents, and institutional negligence, recovering significant settlements for families in Greenville County, Spartanburg County, Pickens County, Anderson County, Oconee County, and the surrounding area.
- Dog bites: Dog bite injuries can be severe, especially for children. We recovered $575K for a man injured by a neighbor’s dog in Anderson County. South Carolina law allows you to seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering whenever you are injured by somebody else’s dog.
- Premises liability and slip and fall: Property owners have a responsibility to keep their premises safe. We recovered $800K for a client who slipped on a hazardous substance at a service station, and $500K for a client who tripped over an improperly marked wheelstop. If you were hurt because of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, you may have a valid claim.
- Workers’ compensation: If you were injured on the job, you’re entitled to workers’ compensation benefits regardless of who was at fault. Our attorneys can help you file your claim and fight back if your employer or their insurer tries to deny or undervalue it.
- Nursing home abuse: When a nursing home fails to provide adequate care, residents suffer. We represent families dealing with physical abuse, neglect, bedsores, medication errors, and other forms of harm in nursing facilities throughout the Greenville area.
- Liquor liability: If you were injured by a drunk driver, you may also have a claim against the business that served them alcohol. We recovered $12.5M in a retail dram shop wrongful death case involving sales to a minor by multiple Upstate convenience stores. We also recovered over $1.775M for a couple injured in a wrongful death dram shop case in Anderson County involving liquor sales to an obviously drunk person at a restaurant in Greenville.
NOTE: Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is different and depends on its unique facts.
In addition to personal injury, our lawyers also handle criminal defense and civil asset forfeiture cases.
How a personal injury case works in South Carolina
If you’ve never worked with a personal injury lawyer before, the process can feel intimidating. Here’s what you can expect when you hire David R. Price, Jr., P.A.
Our representation starts with a free consultation. You tell us what happened, we ask some questions, and we give you an honest assessment of your case. If we believe you have a claim, we can begin working on it the same day.
From there, we investigate your accident. That means gathering evidence, obtaining police reports, securing medical records, and identifying every source of insurance coverage that may apply to your case. South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule under S.C. Code § 15-38-15, which means insurance companies will try to shift blame onto you to reduce what they owe. Even a few percentage points of fault can lower your recovery, and if you’re found to be more than 50% at fault, you’re barred from recovering anything. Our attorneys know how to counter these arguments and protect your claim.
We handle all communication with insurance companies so you can focus on your medical treatment and recovery. Most personal injury cases settle through negotiation, and we work aggressively to get you a fair result without unnecessary delays. But if the insurance company refuses to offer what your case is worth, we will take the case to trial. Between our attorneys, we have more than 40 years and 50 jury trials of experience, and insurance adjusters in this area know we’re prepared to go to court and that we are talented trial lawyers once we’re in there.
Throughout the process, we keep you informed. You’ll always know where your case stands and what your options are.
South Carolina personal injury laws you should know
Two South Carolina laws are especially important if you’ve been injured in an accident in Greenville or anywhere else in the state.
Modified comparative negligence (S.C. Code § 15-38-15): South Carolina allows injured people to recover compensation even if they were partially at fault, as long as their share of the fault is 50% or less. If you’re found to be more than 50% at fault, you can’t recover anything. This is why insurance companies in South Carolina work so hard to pin some of the blame on you. It’s also why having an attorney who understands how to investigate accidents and build a strong case on fault is so important.
Statute of limitations (S.C. Code § 15-3-530(5)): In most cases, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in South Carolina. Three years might sound like a lot of time, but evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and building a strong case takes months of investigation and preparation. Additionally, if the at-fault party is a governmental entity or governmental employee, the statute of limitations can be as short as two years. The sooner you talk to an attorney, the better your chances of a strong outcome.

Frequently asked questions about personal injury claims in Greenville
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in South Carolina?
In most cases, South Carolina’s statute of limitations gives you three years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit, as outlined in S.C. Code § 15-3-530(5). While three years may seem like enough time, waiting too long can hurt your case. Evidence from the accident scene can be lost, witnesses move or forget key details, and medical records become harder to connect to the incident. Additionally, if the at-fault party is a governmental entity or governmental employee, the statute of limitations can be as short as two years. If you’ve been injured, it’s best to speak with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
South Carolina uses a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you were 50% or less at fault. However, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, you’d receive $80,000. If you’re found to more than 50% at fault, you can’t recover anything. Insurance companies regularly try to shift blame onto the injured person to reduce what they owe, which is why having an attorney who can investigate the accident and defend your claim on fault is so important.
How much does a personal injury lawyer in Greenville cost?
At David R. Price, Jr., P.A., we work on a contingency fee basis. You don’t pay us anything until we recover compensation for you. There are no upfront costs, no retainers, and no hourly fees. Your initial consultation is completely free and comes with no obligation.
What compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills (past and future), lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses related to your injuries. The value of your case depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, how long your recovery takes, and the insurance coverage available. Our attorneys can evaluate your situation and give you an honest assessment during a free consultation.
Should I accept the insurance company’s first settlement offer?
In most cases, no! Insurance companies often make low initial offers hoping you’ll settle quickly before you understand the full extent of your injuries and losses. We’ve seen initial offers that were a fraction of what the case was actually worth. Before you accept any offer, let us review it for free. Once you accept a settlement, you can’t go back and ask for more, even if your injuries turn out to be worse than expected.
What should I do right after a car accident in Greenville?
Call 911 and get medical attention, even if you think you’re fine. Some injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding don’t show symptoms right away. Document the scene with photos if you can, exchange information with the other driver, and avoid admitting fault or apologizing at the scene. Don’t give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company before talking to an attorney. Then call the attorneys at David R. Price, Jr., P.A. at 864-271-2636 for a free consultation.
How long does a personal injury case take in Greenville?
Every case is different. Some straightforward cases can settle within a few months, while more complex cases (especially those involving severe injuries, disputed liability, or multiple parties) can take a year or longer. Our goal is to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while making sure you receive fair compensation. We won’t rush you into a low settlement just to close the case quickly.
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company is already talking to me?
Yes! Insurance adjusters are trained to protect their company’s bottom line, not to look out for your best interests. They may seem friendly, but their goal is to settle your claim for as little as possible. Anything you say to them can be used to reduce or deny your claim. Having an attorney handle those conversations protects you and typically results in significantly better outcomes.
When you need a lawyer, it’s important to have experience on your side. We’ve represented victims for more than 30 years combined, in trial courts and appellate courts throughout South Carolina. If your case is complex, and even if it’s not, we understand the evidence and legal procedures that are important to your case and can help lead to the best possible result.
Our commitment to you is to use our legal experience to protect your interests, and to transparently explain the legal, evidentiary, and practical issues presented by your case.
