How Does Wrongful Death Recovery Work in Upstate South Carolina?
South Carolina law requires that only the Personal Representative of the deceased person's estate can legally file the wrongful death lawsuit. The firm assists families with the complex process of opening the estate and having the proper representative appointed by the probate court, ensuring all legal requirements are met properly.
Compensation awarded benefits surviving family members in a specific order: first the deceased person's surviving spouse and children, then parents if no spouse or children exist, and finally the deceased person's heirs-at-law. Sturkie Injury Law, PC guides families through this intricate legal framework while they focus on healing.
The three-year statute of limitations from the date of death makes early action crucial for evidence preservation and building the strongest possible case for your family's future security.
