Decades of trial work in Upstate courtrooms
Since 1948 this firm has tried injury cases in courtrooms across the Upstate, and that history is part of why insurance companies take our clients seriously. They know we prepare every case for a jury and will go to trial when a fair offer does not come.
That record includes a piece of local history: a $4.125 million personal injury verdict that was the largest jury verdict in Anderson County at the time it was returned. Every case is different, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
What a claim can include
- Medical bills, now and in the future

General information about injury claims in South Carolina. Call us for advice about your case.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Anderson, SC?
At Pruitt & Pruitt the first consultation is free and injury cases are handled on a contingency fee. There is no attorney fee unless we recover money for you, and we explain the agreement in writing before you sign.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in South Carolina?
Most personal injury claims must be filed within three years. Claims against a government agency generally have a two-year limit, and medical malpractice and workers' compensation have their own rules. Call early so evidence is preserved.
What is my personal injury case worth?
It depends on the injury, the treatment you need now and in the future, lost income, the effect on your daily life, and the insurance available. We gather the records and, when needed, work with medical experts and economists to measure the full loss.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
Report the accident to your own insurer, but be careful with the other side's adjuster. Their job is to limit what the company pays. Talk with a lawyer before giving a recorded statement or signing a release.
Will my case go to trial?
Most injury cases settle, but strong settlements usually come from cases prepared for trial. Our practice has always emphasized trial work, and insurers know we are ready to go to court.
