When an accident comes without warning, even the most prepared person can fall victim. One moment, you're walking to a restaurant after a long day of work. The next moment, someone else's negligence and carelessness change your life forever. Personal injury victims aren't just the victims of negligence they suffer from pain, concern over family and ability to work. Often, these victims do not have the luxury of worrying about work and family, because they're clinging to life in an ER. Without a personal injury attorney in Greenville, SC, by their side, they mistakenly provide official statements to insurance agencies and accept settlement offers that only account for a fraction of what they have lost.
If you have recently been hurt in an accident, you may be asking questions like:
With more than 100,000 car accidents in South Carolina every year, we hear these questions every day. Our hearts hurt for those who are suffering due to no fault of their own. Accident victims are not only left with questions like those above; they're also forced to deal with costs associated with medical bills, car repair, follow-up appointments, and loss of income.
While reading these facts can be bleak, there is a silver lining. South Carolina law dictates that those who are found responsible for your pain and suffering may be obligated to pay for your expenses. Cobb Hammett, LLC exists for that exact reason to make sure that negligent parties are held accountable. We fight on your behalf to make sure you get the compensation you deserve. We aren't afraid to go toe-to-toe with greedy insurance agencies who do not have your best interests at heart.
Our overarching goal is to protect your rights, and our law firm is uniquely positioned to do so, with attorney Michael Dill's vast experience in the auto insurance industry.
We offer comprehensive vehicle representation for a number of different automobile accidents, including:
If you know you have been involved in one of the car accidents above, the time to seek experienced representation is now. Generally, car accident victims have three years from the date of their injuries to file a personal injury claim in Greenville. That time frame can be reduced in certain circumstances. When a wrongful death is involved, surviving family members must take action in a similar time frame.
The bottom line is that speed is of the essence in these cases. When we sit down with you to learn more about your accident, we will help you understand South Carolina law so that you are fully informed before taking legal action. The sooner we can dig into the details of your case, the sooner we can fight for your rights.
The law states that personal injury victims are entitled to compensation for the full extent of their injuries. Why? Because the primary goal of injury compensation in Greenville, SC, is to help the victim return to the state they would have been in, if the accident never occurred. In the literal sense, doing so isn't possible. The law cannot reverse the incredible suffering and pain that accompanies a severe injury. As such, personal injury victims are entitled to receive a financial reward that equals those damages.
How much compensation you get depends on the facts and nuances of your case. With that said, you may be able to recover compensation for the following needs:
If you or someone you love was recently injured in a car wreck, contact our office today to speak with a personal injury lawyer in Greenville, SC. The sooner you call, the sooner we can begin fighting for your rights and the compensation you need.
If there were one common truth that we can count on, it's that life is unpredictable. Sometimes, accidents just happen. However, when recklessness and negligence come into play in situations where accidents cause personal injuries, the negligent party can be held responsible under South Carolina law. For victims to have a chance at compensation, the party responsible for the accident must be proven to be negligent. When a party or parties are negligent, they fail to take appropriate care when performing an action, like driving an automobile.
After an accident occurs, it is critical to take certain steps to help prove the responsible party's negligence and maximize the compensation you rightly deserve.
All too often, car wreck victims don't get the compensation they need because they failed to take the proper steps after their accident. Don't let this be you. By having comprehensive records of your car accident and its aftermath, you have a much better chance of protecting your rights and maximizing compensation for your bills and injuries. If you have been injured in an automobile accident in Greenville, follow these steps before doing anything else:
First and foremost, seek medical attention for any injuries that you have sustained. You might not realize it now, but your injuries may be more complex and serious than you think. Damage like head trauma and back injuries are not easy to diagnose on your own and sometimes take time to surface. A full medical examination will help reveal the extent of your injuries, lead to a quicker recovery, and help document the injuries you sustained. This last part is essential to prove the significance of your injuries.
The second step you should take is to report your injuries to the correct authorities. The authorities change depending on the circumstances of your accident. If you were involved in a car wreck in Greenville, you should file your report with the highway authorities and any associated insurance agencies. Regardless of where you were injured and how the wreck occurred, the biggest takeaway here is to file a report. That way, you have an established, official record of the incident that can be referred to down the line.
Personal injury cases in Greenville are won with evidence. It might sound like the job of the police, but it's important that you try to secure any evidence that you can collect relating to your accident, especially if you are injured. Evidence in auto accident cases tends to disappear quickly. By preserving evidence soon after the accident, it can be used in court. For example, if you cannot get a witness statement immediately after your wreck, their testimony may come across as less reliable. Completing this task on your own can be quite difficult, especially after a serious accident. That's why it's so crucial to complete the last step below.
One of the most intelligent, important steps you can take after a car accident is calling a personal injury attorney in Greenville, SC. At Cobb Hammett, LLC, we will assist you with every step of your personal injury case to ensure that your rights are protected. That includes gathering all types of evidence relevant to your case. When we investigate your accident, we will determine the person who is liable for your losses. If there are multiple liable parties, we will hold each one accountable for their negligence.
Every personal injury case is different, which is why experience counts when it comes to car accident compensation. Our track record speaks for itself, but no number of past results will guarantee a perfect outcome. What we can guarantee, however, is our undivided attention and fierce dedication to your case, no matter the circumstances. Unlike other personal injury law firms in Greenville, you can have peace of mind knowing your best interests always come first at Cobb Hammett, LLC.
At Cobb Hammett, LLC, we have years of experience handling some of Greenville's most complicated car accident cases. Some of the most common cases that come across our desks include:
Drunk driving is a major problem in the Lowcountry. Drunk drivers are incredibly irresponsible and regularly cause fatal accidents because they drive physically and mentally impaired by alcohol. Drunk drivers have slower reaction times, delayed reflexes, and impaired vision, making them unfit to operate a motor vehicle. In auto wrecks, drunk drivers often come away with minor injuries compared to their victims, which is a bitter pill to swallow
Individuals who make a choice to drive drunk cause accidents by weaving in and out of traffic, going over the speed limit, failing to see pedestrians, and ignoring traffic laws. They may run cars off the road, rear-end vehicles, hit them head-on, or even cause a vehicle to roll over.
Drunk driving accidents in Greenville care result in horrible injuries, such as:
If you are injured or have lost a family member due to an impaired or drunk driver, our team of personal injury lawyers in Greenville can help. We have extensive experience with car accident cases and can explain your rights in simple, plain terms. It is important to know that you can file a personal injury suit regardless of the criminal case outcome against the drunk driver.
When accidents happen in RVs or rental cars, people are often unsure of their rights. This confusion is understandable since there are additional insurance and legal issues that must be accounted for in these cases.
Fortunately, the lawyers at Cobb Hammett, LLC, have the experience to help you with complex car accident and RV cases. Attorney Michael Dill worked in the auto insurance industry before becoming an attorney. He also has an undergraduate degree that includes a focus on risk management and insurance. When it comes to rental and RV accidents, we review each client's case with a fine-tooth comb. Once we understand your accident, our team will explain your rights and options in easy-to-understand terms.
If you were involved in an accident while driving an RV or a rental vehicle, you may find that your auto insurance company, the rental car's insurance company, and the other party's insurance carrier will try to deny your claim. Situations like these call for a bold, experienced personal injury attorney in Greenville, SC, who isn't afraid of large corporations and insurance groups. We have extensive experience with insurance companies and know how to interpret policies. As your advocate, we will ensure that you receive the coverage and compensation you are entitled to, even if an insurance company says you aren't.
We can help you seek compensation in cases that involve:
Victims of RV and rental car accidents (as well as their families) may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost income or benefits. Our personal injury lawyers work with life-care planners, medical experts, and economists to determine the amount of compensation you will need.
We live in a time where just about everyone has their eyes glued to their phones. Often, this happens in situations where the person needs to be paying attention, like when they're driving an automobile. Taking a few moments to glance down at your phone can cause irreparable damage to other drivers. That is why texting while driving is illegal in Greenville. Typically, this crime is met with a minor traffic violation. However, when a distracted driver injures another motorist, you can seek compensation through a legal suit. If you have been injured in such a situation, our team can help you hold the negligent driver accountable for your losses and damages.
Texting takes drivers' minds and eyes off the road and their hands off the wheel. Because they are not paying attention to their driving,
They miss crucial road signs and information such as:

GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. —
A yet-to-be-named auto manufacturer could soon invest more than $200 million to build a new facility while creating several hundred jobs, according to public documents.
Greenville County Council approved on first reading an agreement between the county and the company, whose name has not been revealed due to non-disclosure agreements. The company is currently known as "Project Blackbird."
"It's a name that would be easily recognized. It's a good quality company, which was important to us," County Council Member Butch Kirven said. "They have a long track record of success. I think we wouldn't have to worry about their performance in Greenville County."
The agreement, according to public documents, could run for 40 years, and it calls for the company to make an investment of $215.9 million to create 702 jobs. The potential agreement also calls for the company to pay a fee of 4% per year at 321 mills.
The investment could be located on more than 200 acres on Augusta Road in southern Greenville County.
The Greenville Area Development Corporation said the company is one of several they look to recruit to the Upstate.
"We are very specific with our land. We don't have as many acres left in the industrial market," GADC president and CEO Max Stewart said. "Our automotive, aerospace, life sciences and advanced materials, those are the target sectors for our county. Those are the sectors we're good at. Those are the sectors our educational institutions are working towards."
SC correctional officer assaulted, another attacked by several inmates, officials say
Officials said the company's identity will be revealed during the third reading of the agreement in the county council.
"For every job that a project creates, about 1.8 jobs are created in the market in other areas, so if you're talking about induced jobs for that market, it's in the retail, health care, education space," Stewart said.
In the meantime, officials said they are looking forward to a potentially significant addition to the Upstate's economy.
"A lot of people scratch your head on jobs because of the population growth, but we need a way to provide opportunities for young people getting out of high school, starting their careers. These types of jobs would be ideal for that," Kirven said.
According to public documents, the company said it expects the first phase of its operations to be up and running in 2027.

November 8, 2024 - United Soccer League One (USL1)
On the other side of the bracket, two clubs who just netted their first playoff wins duke it out for their second. Here in Omaha, two clubs who began this decade with USL League One titles look to go one step away from a second. Better yet, it's the very first rematch in USL League One Playoff history.
Simply put, this square-off between Union Omaha and Greenville Triumph is a prestige matchup for USL League One. These are the two winningest clubs in league history, with the extra season of existence giving Greenville the leg up on Omaha 71 to 66. Greenville would make their fourth League One final with a win here, while this would be Omaha's third. It's also the first time two current or former League One champions (or Players' Shield winners, for that matter) have met in the semifinals.
THE STARS ARE OUT
That's the historical context, but these teams didn't coast to this point by trading on past glories. The exact opposite, even: Omaha and Greenville have been the two highest-scoring clubs in 2024. On an individual level, Pedro Dolabella and his 14 goal contributions in league play is only topped by two other players... one of whom is Lyam MacKinnon with an astounding 22. That, by the way, makes up two of the three players up for the league's Player of the Year award. While we can't truly guarantee fireworks and goals aplenty, it's not going out on a limb to suggest that this is as marquee as it gets.
Further down the rosters, there are plenty of other names with accolades attached. Newcomer Chapa Herrera and league mainstay Evan Lee made the USL League One All-League Second Team for Greenville, while Dion Acoff, a Second Teamer last year, was voted into the 2024 Players' Choice Awards Best Eleven by his peers in USL1.
ABOUT GREENVILLE TRIUMPH
The winningest club in USL League One rolls ever onward. Greenville Triumph have made the playoffs in every year of the league's existence, and until last year had only ever finished in the top three in the standings. Even as they haven't hit those same heights in the table of late, the club still has the wind at their backs. First came early October's announcement of the legendary Ronaldinho joining the ownership group. Then, just last week saw the reveal of a 10,000 seater stadium and development complex hoping to open in 2026. It's exciting times for one of the league's model clubs, to say the least.
On the pitch, of course, they've seen success. The club managed to slot two goals past One Knoxville's stellar defense to reach the semifinals, and they'll surely be hungry to avenge their two losses against Union Omaha this season. Both were close-run as well, with a narrow 1-0 win for the Owls in Greenville followed later by a 3-1 win at Werner Park in which Lincoln native Tyler Polak was dinged with a pair of own goals. Omaha will take heart in those victories (and a 5-2-5 record all-time against Greenville), but expect anything to happen in the playoffs. Just ask the departed juggernauts in Northern Colorado.
X-FACTORS
We'll focus on another key summer signing this week, in the form of Indy Eleven loanee Max Schneider. After PC Giro retired in July to begin his coaching career, a huge gap was left at Omaha's holding midfielder position. While players like Nortei Nortey and Brandon Knapp filled in well, both tend to be more box-to-box type players. Thus, the team brought in Schneider, who happens to be Dolabella's former teammate at Marshall University. The German had his first term with the club cut short after a month due to injury, but returned weeks later and has now started all but one match since October began. He's useful on both ends of a set-piece, with the ball-striking ability to take them and the height at 6'3" to finish them. Really, he's useful all over the pitch, with a pair of assists on the season (both to Dolabella), as well as ranking first or second on the team in per 90 minute stats like interceptions/90, tackles won/90, and blocks/90.
All the attention will be paid to Lyam MacKinnon, and for good reason. He's the Golden Boot winner, tied for the team's assist leader, and a Player of the Year nominee. But a prime pick as X-factor for the Triumph comes into the match questionable to even play due to a wrist injury suffered against Knoxville. Chapa Herrera's talents will actually be well familiar to this team: Head Coach Dominic Casciato worked with him when both were at El Paso Locomotive. He could be considered the fulcrum of this Greenville squad though; Herrera is one of two midfielders with more than 11% of his team's touches, and sports an 88.3% passing accuracy rate as well to keep things ticking. Much like Schneider, he does a little bit of everything on the defensive end as well, which will be crucial when trying to stave off the Owls' high-flying attack.
ANALYTICS CORNER
Union Omaha will need to be incredibly disciplined when they take on Greenville. Their foes on the east coast have four of the top six players at Goals Added via Fouling (Fouls Won vs Fouls Conceded), including the top two (Lyam MacKinnon at 0.93 Goals Added and Ben Zakowski at 0.54). Put another way: Greenville has won 10 penalty kicks this season, with the next highest being Knoxville's six. MacKinnon himself has won as many or more penalty kicks (4) than every other team besides Knoxville. And while the Triumph have also given up six penalty kicks, they're disciplined enough to be the only team in the league without a red card on the season. All this to say, the Owls must walk a tightrope with their physicality, which isn't a given with their league-leading marks of 14.6 fouls per match and 78 yellow cards.
