Wrongful death lawyer in Loris, SC

Personal counsel when  families need clarity

When a preventable loss occurs, families want answers and a steady advocate. Josephs Law Firm PA investigates quickly—accident reconstruction, witness statements, and insurance coverage—so loved ones can focus on arrangements and healing. Many of these cases stem from drunk driving accidents or serious collisions on Highway 9 or 701; prompt evidence gathering can influence liability and damages.

What a wrongful death claim may include

  • Medical and funeral expenses
  • Lost financial support and services
  • Loss of companionship and emotional injuries
  • Potential punitive damages in egregious conduct (e.g., DUI)


When the at-fault driver fled the scene, we examine hit-and-run claims and uninsured motorist coverage for available paths to recovery.
