  • The Truth About Comparative Negligence in South Carolina

    The Truth About Comparative Negligence in South Carolina
    Sep 18 2025
    You want to sue after being in a vehicle accident, but were you glancing at your phone when it happened? Were you going five miles an hour over the speed limit? In this explanation of how comparative negligence works in South Carolina, Dirk J. Derrick, Esq. cautions that juries may reduce awards if they decide that the plaintiff bears some fault. “Very rarely will we get a focus group of 12 people or 100 people who will say that ‘plaintiff has no fault, if they fall, no matter how dangerous the condition is,’” he says to Pearl Carey, on the firm's professional staff. Dirk reveals how defense attorneys systematically search for any plaintiff conduct to reduce payouts, particularly in a state where plaintiffs lose all compensation if found more than 50% at fault. Through insights from focus groups, he demonstrates how even minimal plaintiff fault can significantly impact case outcomes and emphasizes the critical importance of understanding that "everything you do is going to be looked at and investigated."Learn More and Connect☑️ Dirk J.
