South Carolina Wrongful Death Lawyer

 

Losing a loved one because of someone else's negligence or wrongdoing is one of the hardest things a family can experience. South Carolina law allows certain family members to bring a wrongful death claim to pursue accountability and financial recovery for the loss - though no verdict or settlement can undo what happened. Cantwell Law Firm represents families throughout South Carolina in wrongful death claims arising from car accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home neglect, defective products, and other forms of negligence.

​

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in South Carolina?

​

South Carolina's wrongful death statute allows the personal representative of the deceased's estate to file a claim on behalf of statutory beneficiaries, typically the spouse, children, or parents of the deceased.

​​

What Type of Damages a Wrongful Death Claim May Address?

​

Depending on the circumstances, a wrongful death claim may address funeral and burial expenses, medical expenses incurred before death, loss of the deceased's income and financial support, and loss of care, companionship, and guidance. What applies depends entirely on the specific facts of the case.
