Car Accidents in South Carolina: Your Right to Compensation
Car accidents can result in severe injuries, costly medical bills, lost wages, and lasting emotional trauma. If you’ve been involved in a car accident in South Carolina, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, property damage, and pain and suffering. We help victims of car accidents navigate the complex legal process and fight for the compensation they deserve.
South Carolina follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning that if you are partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, even if you are partially responsible, you may still be able to recover damages. Our experienced team will thoroughly investigate the accident, gather evidence, and work with experts to build a strong case on your behalf.
Key Points in Car Accident Cases:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional distress

Estate Planning: Protecting Your Legacy and Loved Ones
Estate planning is essential for individuals who want to ensure that their wishes are carried out after their death and that their loved ones are protected. In South Carolina, estate planning encompasses a wide range of legal tools, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills.
Creating a comprehensive estate plan ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and minimizes the burden on your family. Our estate planning team will work with you to create a customized plan that meets your unique needs, whether you are creating a simple will or establishing a more complex trust structure.
Common Estate Planning Tools:
- Wills: Specifies how your assets will be distributed upon your death.

- Power of Attorney: Appoints someone to make financial and healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
- Living Will: States your wishes regarding medical treatment in the event you are unable to communicate.
Effective estate planning is a critical step in securing your family’s future. Let us help you navigate this important process.
Probate in South Carolina: Navigating the Process After a Loss
After the death of a loved one, managing their estate can be a complicated and emotionally taxing process. In South Carolina, probate is the legal process through which a decedent’s assets are distributed and debts settled. The probate process can be time-consuming and complex, particularly if there are disputes among beneficiaries or creditors.
At the Law Offices of Brian Robert Murphy, LLC, we provide compassionate legal support to guide families through the probate process. Whether you are the personal representative of an estate or a beneficiary, we help ensure that all legal requirements are met, and your interests are protected. Our team will assist with filing the necessary documents, managing estate assets, and resolving any challenges that arise during the probate proceedings.
Key Elements of the Probate Process:
- Validating the will: The court will verify the authenticity of the decedent’s will.
- Appointing the personal representative: The personal representative is responsible for managing the estate’s assets and ensuring debts are paid.
- Asset distribution: After debts are settled, the remaining assets are distributed according to the will or South Carolina intestacy laws.
- Resolving disputes: We help resolve disagreements among family members, creditors, and other stakeholders.
Let us simplify the probate process for you and ensure that your loved one’s estate is settled properly and efficiently.
