Under South Carolina law, a wrongful death is one that occurs due to the wrongful act, neglect or default of another.

Products Liability

Under South Carolina law, manufacturers and sellers of products have a duty to ensure the goods they produce are reasonably safe for their intended use. When a manufacturer or seller fails to comply with this duty, they may be held legally liable for the injuries and damages that occur because the product was in a defective condition unreasonably dangerous to the user. There are three defects a plaintiff in a products liability lawsuit can allege to show that the product is unreasonably dangerous: a manufacturing defect, a warning defect and/or a design defect.

If you or your family member was involved in an accident caused by a defective product, contact our attorneys today, as you may be entitled to significant compensation for your injuries and financial losses.

Construction / Industrial Accidents

In South Carolina, employees who suffer on-the-job injuries are generally prohibited from bringing personal injury lawsuits against their direct employers. Instead, the injured employee’s sole remedy against his or her employer is to pursue workers’ compensation benefits. However, the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act does not prohibit an injured employee from bringing a lawsuit against a third party, such as a subcontractor or the manufacturer of defective equipment, whose negligence caused or contributed to his or her workplace injury.

If you believe that your workplace injuries were caused by the negligence of a party other than your employer, contact Morgan Litigation Group today. Our experienced attorneys will thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident to determine whether the potential exists for a claim against a third-party or parties.

Automobile Accidents

Automobile accidents are an unfortunate part of daily life. While it’s true that sometimes these accidents are just that, accidental, the vast majority are completely avoidable and caused by the reckless or negligent actions of other drivers. For example, many collisions are caused by completely preventable issues, including speeding, distracted driving (including texting, talking on the phone or using social media apps) and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident due to no fault of your own, you should contact an experienced automobile accident attorney as soon as possible, even before speaking to an insurance adjuster.

At Morgan Litigation Group, our experienced Lexington car accident attorneys fight to ensure that our injured clients receive the full and fair compensation they deserve for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages they incur as a result of their injuries.

Truck Accidents

Due to the sheer size and weight of tractor trailers, they are more likely to inflict catastrophic personal injury or death in a collision with a much smaller vehicle. In turn, victims of trucking accidents are more likely to suffer devastating, life-threatening injuries including head and brain injuries, burn injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, and other serious medical conditions.

More so than with any other type of motor vehicle accident, it is extremely important that you contact an experienced truck accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident to assist you in investigating the cause of the accident and submitting a claim to the insurance company. Trucking companies and their insurance carriers often send a rapid response team to the scene of an accident shortly after it occurs, so it is important for you to likewise protect your legal interests.

The experienced truck accident lawyers at Morgan Litigation Group will diligently investigate your accident and negotiate with the trucking company’s insurance adjuster to obtain the compensation and justice you deserve.

Dog Bites

Under South Carolina law, an owner of a domestic animal, such as a dog, owes a duty to control his or her animal in order to prevent injury to other persons. Moreover, the laws in our state impose strict liability on a dog owner for damages arising out of a dog bite when the victim was in a public place or lawfully in a private place at the time of the bite or attack and did not provoke the dog. That means that dog bite victims in South Carolina may sue for damages regardless of whether the dog was known to be aggressive.
