Wrongful Death and Serious Injuries in South Carolina
Tidelands Law ◊ Personal Service From a Leading Trial Lawyer
No legal settlement can turn back the clock. The law can't fix paralysis or brain injury and it can't bring a loved one back from the dead. The best an attorney can do is to show compassion and work hard to help the client prepare for the future.
At Tidelands Law, we offer personal service from one of Georgetown's foremost trial attorneys. Turner Perrow has practiced law in the Tidelands of South Carolina for 15 years. He will work one-on-one with you, personally handling your case.

Spinal Cord Injuries, Paralysis, Brain Injury and Disabilities
When you or a loved one loses the use of a limb or when one’s brain becomes irreversibly damaged, life changes forever. Not only will you require continuing medical care, but your entire life will also have to be rearranged to accommodate your new disability.
To calculate the compensation you will need, we bring in experts to testify about the expenses you will incur and the future earnings you will lose. We thoroughly investigate every claim.
Fatal Accidents and Wrongful Death
In a wrongful death lawsuit, you can win compensation for economic losses (medical expenses, burial expenses and lost future earnings) along with noneconomic losses. While it's impossible to quantify the "value" of a spouse, parent or child, our firm will enlist the help of experts to present a reasonable estimation of the expenses.
At Tidelands Law, we handle wrongful death litigation with compassion for the bereaved, respect for the deceased and perseverance in pursuit of the maximum settlement for your claim.
Learn the Law: How "Comparative Negligence" Can Affect You
In South Carolina, the law allows for both sides in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit to be considered partially responsible. Therefore, awards are granted in proportion to each party's level of responsibility. This is the essence of the "comparative negligence" doctrine.
Imagine for example that a jury decides that your injury has caused $100,000 worth of damage. If they also decide that you were 10 percent responsible for the accident, then you will only be awarded a $90,000 settlement.
