Is there really no cost for the case review?

Yes. Your initial case review is completely free.

You can speak with our legal team without paying a consultation fee. We’ll hear your story, answer your questions, and explain the legal options that may be available. If we move forward with your case, our attorneys generally work on a contingency fee basis, so attorney fees are collected only if we successfully recover compensation for you.

How do I know if I actually have a personal injury claim?

It is completely understandable to be unsure. You do not have to figure that out on your own.

After an accident or injury, you may have questions about who was responsible, whether your injuries qualify for a claim, or what your next steps should be. You do not need to have those answers before contacting our team.

Generally, a personal injury claim in South Carolina involves showing that another party was negligent, that the negligence caused your injuries, and that you experienced damages such as medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, or property damage.

Hoffman Law Firm can listen to what happened, review the circumstances and available evidence, and discuss potential liability and insurance coverage during a 100% free consultation with no obligation to hire us.
