Myrtle Beach Wrongful Death Attorneys

Typically, the claim must be filed by the executor or personal representative of the deceased’s estate. That person may act on behalf of surviving spouses, children, or parents, depending on the case. If you're unsure of your eligibility, we can help clarify your legal standing.

In South Carolina, the statute of limitations for wrongful death cases is three years from the date of death. However, it’s critical to act quickly so we can gather evidence and begin protecting your family’s rights without delay. Waiting too long can impact your ability to recover damages.

We must show that the death was caused by another party’s negligence, recklessness, or misconduct. This often involves accident reports, expert testimony, medical records, and financial evaluations. We handle the investigation with diligence, compassion, and the highest standards of legal care.

Wrongful death claims can include both economic and non-economic damages—such as lost income, funeral costs, and the emotional loss of companionship. In severe cases, punitive damages may also apply. We’ll make sure your family seeks everything you’re entitled to.

Not with the right support. Our role is to shoulder the legal burden so you can focus on healing. We’ll keep you informed, answer your questions with care, and never rush your decisions. We’re here to help—not to overwhelm.
