Discuss Your Rights With a Lawyer as Soon as You Can After a Crash
At the Schiller Law Firm in Rock Hill and Lancaster, we understand that people who have just been involved in car accidents might put calling an attorney well down the list of things to do. In many accidents, your first problem will be to figure out just how badly your own vehicle is damaged and what you need to do to get it fixed or replaced. In the more severe accidents, your main priority should be to get the medical attention you need.
Nevertheless, the decisions you make in the first hours and days following an accident can have important and continuing consequences for the eventual resolution of your injury and property damages claims. For the advice of an experienced attorney, contact us at either of our two locations for a free consultation.

Our ability to deal with the legal, practical, financial and medical aspects of an auto accident can help you avoid mistakes and protect your interest in a prompt and fair settlement. Here are some of the things our lawyers can help with:
- Finding proper medical treatment and figuring out how to pay for it
- Getting complete and accurate estimates for car repair, reimbursement for rental cars and compensation for loss of use
- Avoiding mistakes in dealing with law enforcement or insurance accident investigators
- Preserving eyewitness testimony, inspecting the damaged vehicles, documenting traffic conditions and otherwise gathering the evidence that will be essential to proof of your claims
- Ensuring that your injuries are documented through video, photographs, medical records and emergency treatment notes
- Protecting your ability to cover living expenses during a period away from work or other income interruption
Don't count on the insurance claims adjuster to look out for your interests in settling the case. If you don't think to include a particular component of your losses in your claim, the insurer is not likely to bring it up on your behalf. The insurer's goal is to settle your claim for the lowest amount possible while protecting its own access to reimbursement from other sources.
Our goal is to help you recover the amount necessary to meet your medical, financial and future losses from all available sources.
