Re: Traffic Accident Jurisdiction

If your case settles without the necessity of filing suit, then no you don't need a South Carolina lawyer. However, if the lawyer isn't from South Carolina, then the insurance company will know that and will take advantage of you and in all likelyhood, you will not recieve as much. If the case has to be filed in court, then you absolutely must have a South Carolina lawyer. In either event, its best for your case if you have a lawyer from South Carolina.
