Car Accident Injury Lawyers
As reported by the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, a motor vehicle accident occurs every 4.9 minutes across the state. From minor bump ups to multiple car crashes, injury-producing accidents occur every 17 minutes, while fatal car accidents happen every 10 hours. Given this perspective and the legal complexities associated with car accident claims, it’s important to obtain the services of a car accident injury lawyer if you are injured in a car wreck.
Consider the following classes of injuries associated with car accidents:
- Head and back injuries – Ranging from mild concussions to traumatic brain injury (TBI), herniated disc or spinal cord injury, immediate and ongoing medical care is often necessary with the possibility of permanent disability.
- Neck and chest injuries – While damage to neck muscles and ligaments from a whiplash movement causes nagging pain and swelling, it may also cause temporary vocal cord paralysis. In turn, direct impact to the chest may result in broken ribs, collapsed lungs or cardiac arrest.
- Damage to limbs or amputation – While injuries to the legs, arms, hands and feet are commonly reported in car accidents, pedestrians and motorcyclists are at an increased risk for multiple injuries with severe damage, amputation and death.
Depending on the extent of your injury, you may be facing numerous surgeries, weeks or months of physical therapy and perhaps an extended leave from work. While attempts can be made to recover compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance, this process can prove daunting. Additionally, if a third party has contributed to your accident injury, you may wonder about the possibility of pursuing a personal injury claim.
The motor vehicle accident attorneys at CFJ Injury Lawyers have a strong record of advocacy, both inside and outside of the courtroom. When it comes to your injury, we know how the system works. We’ll examine every aspect of your case and apply our legal expertise to help you get the compensation you need and deserve.
Attorneys For Serious Car Wreck Injuries
No one considers the odds of being in a serious car wreck. Yet, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that South Carolina’s traffic fatality rate is nearly double that of the national average. Accident causes range from drunk driving, speeding, distracted driving or texting, tailgating, falling asleep at the wheel and failure to yield. While one can choose to remain responsible behind the wheel, it’s impossible to account for the behavior of others. Thus, it’s important to know how to obtain the legal help you need if you or someone you love becomes the victim of a serious car wreck.
With property damage to your vehicle, medical bills, lost wages and the potential for ongoing therapy, not to mention emotional trauma, it’s difficult to estimate the full impact resulting from a car accident. That’s why the best thing you can do in the wake of your car wreck injury is to seek legal help from an experienced motor vehicle accident lawyer.

Hope MishlanLove this firm and would use again if I needed representation in the future
Jose Humberto Solís JiménezIs the best atornyes ,thanks for help me
Faith CenobioThey really took care of me when I was hurt on the job and recovering from my injury.
James JerrelsI feel very blessed to have found CFJ attorneys. From the first meeting and throughout the entire process I felt important to them. Lisa was very attentive with her dedication and communication with me. Not only would I use them in the future. I will highly recommend them to everyone I know.
Jaimie CatoeCFJ Injury Lawyers and their team are great! Cathy and Lisa are who I spoke with the most. They took care of me and were so understanding of my crazy work schedule and took that into consideration when contacting me! I couldn't have asked for a better team to handle my case.
Debbie KelcyMy husband and I have used Wern Law for over 25 years. So when we needed an attorney in 2018 we did not hesitate. Catherine has always handled our cases, and since the firm has "changed hands" from Richard to Catherine, she has gotten a few new associates in the group and hasn't missed a beat. If we ever need to have representation again, this is the only law firm we will use. If you need an attorney for other issues that they do not specialize in, rest assured they will give you excellent advice and good direction. I won't go on blast for the dirty underhanded attorneys and the likes who played games with clients as well as Richard and Catherine. So, if you happen to run across one of them that bad mouth CFI or their staff, run... CFI is very fair and ALWAYS have your best interest at heart. This firm are not ambulance chasers. They rely on word of mouth for advertising.
Rodney MandervilleRichard and his firm/Family have "Always" been there for me and my family as well as those I've referred to his Council. Through good times as well as tough times for literally 20 years. He has always delivered and even more so has become a Great Friend. The information may not always be what you desire to hear but you can be assured that they will be professional and tactful they insure that you are never caught off guard and, that you are thoroughly prepared and informed for any and all matters that may arise throughout your case. In a word "OUTSTANDING"!
Tiffany MillerVery professional staff, knows everyone's name no matter if you've been there only once! You get more than just an attorney; you get a support system and a friend (the type of friend if you're down in the trenches, he's there with you strategizing a way out). You really know that Richard is handling your case as best he can without question. I have used several different law firms in the past and I would recommend this law firm, seeing first-hand the length he goes to for his clients. He also has spanish speaking staff, I would highly recommend Nicole!!!
Larry ConnerI met Richard through my daughter. I fell 8 feet in February 2011 and broke the L2 vertebra in my back!! Over a period of two years, I realized I was going to need help. I came to meet with Richard to talk about my accident. It was the best thing I ever did! My case went on for a little over 3 years and I am very pleased with the outcome Richard helped me obtain. He is an excellent attorney!
