Yes, in most cases. South Carolina uses a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you are found less than 51% at fault, you can still recover compensation, though your award is reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault and your total damages are $100,000, you would recover $80,000. Insurance adjusters in Spartanburg routinely try to inflate a claimant’s share of fault to reduce their payout. Our attorneys gather evidence to accurately establish fault and counter these tactics.
