South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, as long as your share of fault is less than 50%. However, your award will be reduced based on your percentage of responsibility. For example, if you’re found to be 30% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by that amount. The attorneys at Stewart Law Offices work to present your case clearly and minimize your share of fault. We understand how to challenge unfair assessments and fight for the maximum compensation you’re legally entitled to receive.
