In serious injury claims, timing affects what can be proven. In Mount Pleasant, claims commonly stall for reasons that have nothing to do with your injuries—like missing documentation after a crash, surveillance footage being overwritten, or witnesses moving on before statements are collected.
After a severe wreck, evidence can disappear quickly:
- dashcam or roadway footage retention windows
- store/parking lot cameras near shopping and dining areas
- electronic incident logs and maintenance records
- witness availability (including commuting workers)
A local attorney can start building the case while details are still fresh—before you’re asked to give recorded statements or accept an early settlement that doesn’t account for future care.
