Car accidents are one of the most commoncauses of serious injury in Berkeley County.
Unfortunately, the majority of Berkeley County car accidents are entirely preventable. The South Carolina Department of Public Safety reports that the most common causes of South Carolina car accidents are:
- Speeding and driving too fast for the conditions
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Failing to yield the right of way
- Aggressive driving
- Distracted driving
- Improper lane change
- Following too closely
In 2019, there were more than 5,200 car accidents in Berkeley County. These collisions resulted in 29 people losing their lives and another 1,673 suffering injuries.

Pickup Truck Accidents
Pick-up trucks are an incredibly popular choice of vehicle among South Carolina drivers. The total number of new pick-up trucks sold across the country exceeded the number of new cars sold in recent years. While pick-up trucks rank well in terms of safety for vehicle occupants,they pose a serious risk to others on the road, especially when the owners of these vehicles make custom modifications.
According to the most recent data from the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, pick-up trucks made up 250 of the 1,651 vehiclesinvolved in fatal traffic accidents.
Some of the most dangerous modifications pick-up truck owners make to their vehicles include:
- Lighting modifications
- Lifted vehicles
- Tinted windows
- Electronic modifications
- Loud audio systems
Depending on the specific type of modification, it can seriously impact a driver’s ability to maintain control of their truck and affect their awareness. For example, lifted pick-up trucks are at a much greater risk of rolling over, even in response to a minor collision.Lifted pick-ups also create limited vision directly around the vehicle, making it difficult to see young children, pedestrians, motorcycles and even other vehicles when trucks are modified to ride several feet off the ground.

Why Choose the Steinberg Law Firm
18-Wheeler Collisions
18-wheelers, semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles can reach lengths of more than 80 feet and weigh as much as 80,000 pounds when fully loaded.
While driving around large trucks can make even the most seasoned driver uncomfortable, motorists have little choice but to share the road with these vehicles. Unfortunately, drivers’ discomfort around 18-wheelers is well-founded, as these vehicles are involved in a disproportionate number of traffic accidents. In 2019 alone, there were more than 8,500 South Carolina truck accidents. These accidents claimed more than 100 lives and injured more than 2,000 others.
Sorting out which party is at fault and dealing with insurance adjusters is a taxing experience when recuperating from a bad accident. An experienced injury attorney is a great asset when dealing with the aftermath.

Catastrophic Injuries
While there is no legal definition of what constitutes a catastrophic injury, it commonly refers to those injuries that have a life-long impact on an accident victim’s life. The road to recovery is long for those who suffer a catastrophic injury, and they may never return to their pre-accident condition. Examples of catastrophic injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Amputations
- Permanent scarring or other disfigurements
- Burn injuries
- Spinal cord damage
- Severe or multiple broken bones
Catastrophic injuries can be caused by any type of accident, including workplace accidents, car accidents, slip and falls, instances of medical malpractice, and injuries caused by dangerous or defective products.
The Cost of Negligence Can Be High
At the Steinberg Law Firm, we can help you understand your legal options for recovery. We know that you prioritize the safety of your family and friends, and if one of your loved ones is involved in an accident due to another person’s negligence, our Charleston personal injury lawyers work to hold the responsible party legally accountable for all damages caused.
Golf Cart Accidents
Golf carts are incredibly popular in Berkeley County, not just on golf courses. Many people use golf carts to drive around their neighborhood, and some even use them on the city streets. However, golf carts present a serious risk to occupants, pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that over 20,000 people were treated in the emergency room for golf cart-related injuries in 2020 alone.
South Carolina law is unique in that it allows owners of golf carts to drive them on public roads within four miles of their homes if the owner has a valid driver’s license and a gold car permit. Drivers must also purchase insurance coverage to cover themselves and other parties in the event of an accident.
Slip and Falls
Driving too fast for road conditions accounted for the most fatal collisions in 2019, causing 217 deaths. That equals about 27 percent of all deadly accidents in South Carolina and illustrates the extent to which one driver’s bad judgment can kill. South Carolina’s Department of Public Safety also shows DUI drivers accounted for 210 deaths in the state, or 24 percent of the total.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is the legal term used to describe those situations in which a healthcare provider renders care that falls below the generally accepted standard of care that results in a patient’s injury. While some Berkeley County medical malpractice cases involve new injuries, many involve errors related to misdiagnosis. Unless you are a doctor, it can be challenging to know whether you suffered injuries as a result of negligent medical care. The knowledgeable Berkeley County medical malpractice attorneys at the Steinberg Law Firm can help.
COVID-19 Claims
The COVID-19 pandemic brought about major changes in the daily lives of all Americans, not the least of which was the added precaution everyone must take to avoid the spread of this deadly virus.
Businesses and healthcare providers share the obligation to ensure society remains safe from the continued spread of COVID-19. However, through recently passed legislation, South Carolina lawmakers provided broad immunity to businesses and medical professionals as it relates to liability stemming from the transmission of COVID-19. That said, the new law leaves open the possibility of a claim if a business or healthcare provider blatantly disregards the current healthcare protocol to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose the Steinberg Law Firm?
At the Steinberg Law Firm, we recognize that the thought of bringing a lawsuit after an accident may not be on the front of your mind. We understand that your life does not stop after an accident and that the thought of dealingwith insurance companies and lawyers may seem overwhelming.
We Handle Everything
What does it mean when we say we will handle everything? To start, we conduct an in-depth investigation into the events resulting in your injuries, looking for any evidence thatcan help support your claim. We will also prepare and file a claim with the negligent party’s insurance company, seeking fair compensation for your injuries. If the insurance company is not immediately willing to extend a fair settlement offer, we will negotiate with the insurance company so you do not have to. In most cases, the insurance company eventually conveys an offer that our clients feel compensates them for their injuries. However, when an insurance company refuses to recognize what you have beenthrough, we will not hesitate to take your case in front of the jury and seek fair compensation for your injuries.

Over this time, we have had the opportunity to develop an effective approach to preparing personal injury claims that place as little burden as possible on you and your family.
