PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER IN Greenville and Columbia, SC

Property owners have a duty to keep their property reasonably safe for visitors, but there are different types of visitors under South Carolina premises liability law. If you have been invited to the property as a guest, such as when you visit a store to shop, the property owner has a higher duty of care than if you were a trespasser.

Premises liability lawyer Ryan Montgomery handles all types of premises liability actions, including those involving accidents on private property, in stores, in schools and in day cares.

While slip-and-fall accidents, work accidents and motor vehicle accidents are among the most common types of personal injury claims, attorney Ryan Montgomery handles all types of serious injuries and accident claims, including those involving:

• Medical malpractice
• Railroad accidents involving federal employees
• Insurance disputes
• Insurance bad faith
• Defective and dangerous products
• Wrongful death
• Sexual assault

However, if your injuries are less severe, but still result in expenses and losses, direct negotiations between you and an insurer may make sense. This is usually the case when attorneys’ fees would take up too much of your settlement to justify hiring a lawyer. At Ryan Montgomery, Attorney at Law, LLC, we do not accept every case. We take cases for which we believe we can bring a favorable outcome for clients, even taking into account legal fees. We do, however, offer free initial consultations with Mr. Montgomery for nearly all who inquire and request consultations.

A free consultation with Columbia personal injury attorney Ryan Montgomery can prove to be very valuable to you even if he does not take your case. His experience enables him to give you a good estimate of the value of your case. He understands that many people are overwhelmed and intimidated by the experience of negotiating with insurance claims adjusters. He can direct you on how to get a clear idea of what your auto insurance’s personal injury protection will and will not cover, for example.

Despite these precautions, it is important for you to know that many people have a much larger case than they first realize or suspect. In the early phase of recovery after an accident, it may be a waiting game before you know:

• If your neck injury will result in chronic pain
• If your broken bone will be followed by a disabling condition such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSD)

Disabling side effects can be much more difficult to deal with than the original traumatic injury. Therefore, thorough, in-depth communication with your doctor is very important. Once you understand what your real losses will be, we can advise you as to whether it makes sense for you to negotiate directly with your insurance company or to leave the negotiations to a personal injury attorney in Greenville, SC.

When deciding which personal injury attorney to choose there are certain attributes you should look for. An injury lawyer who possesses these attributes may be able to provide a higher level of service which can result in getting more benefits and financial compensation.

The first trait to look for in a personal injury attorney is experience. You are going to want an attorney who knows the South Carolina legal system and how the different insurance companies operate. This can only be obtained by years of handling accident and injury cases.

Another quality to look for is litigation experience and practice focus. You need an experienced trial attorney with fierce negotiation skills. What you do not need is an attorney who has never tried a case nor do you need an attorney who does every area of law under the sun, most of which have nothing to do with personal injury and workers’ comp claims.

Greenville injury attorney Ryan Montgomery has all of these qualities and more. He has won many awards during his distinguished legal career. These were a result of not only the results he obtains for his clients but also of how his clients feel about him, his standing in the Greenville community and how his peers view him, as an attorney.

It is understandable if you are wary of the idea of negotiating with an insurance company on your own after an accident. And it is not usually a good idea. If injuries are significant and total dollar losses are going to be large, you are most likely best off working with an experienced personal injury attorney. South Carolina personal injury claims often go hand in hand with insurance claims. To protect your rights when dealing with your insurance company or the negligent party’s insurer, it is important to have a personal injury lawyer by your side.
