Frequently asked questions for Loris injury cases
Getting started
after a crash
How soon should I call? Right away. Early photos, witness details, and medical records matter. Do I speak to the other insurer? Not before you talk with an
auto accident lawyer who can explain liability and coverage. What if the driver fled? We often use
UM/UIM coverage to move claims forward even when the at-fault driver isn’t identified.
Medical bills, repairs, and time off work
Who pays first? Insurance and benefits can overlap. We coordinate health insurance, MedPay, and liability coverage while you treat. What about the car? Keep estimates, photos, and receipts. If your crash happened during work, ask about
workers’ compensation for wage and medical benefits.
Drunk driving and hit-and-run cases
What changes in DUI crashes? Potential punitive damages and specific evidence like test data and bar/party timelines. What if the driver left? File a police report and call quickly—UM rules have strict requirements. Learn more about drunk driving accidents and how we reconstruct timelines in Horry County.
