Goose Creek Personal Injury Lawyer
Hurt in an accident in Goose Creek? You don’t need a billboard lawyer from another city — you need a neighbor who knows these roads.
Brent Heist fights for injured people and working families across Goose Creek and Berkeley County, and you pay nothing unless we win.
A Local Injury Lawyer Who Knows Goose Creek
Heist Law Firm represents injured people and working families across Goose Creek and Berkeley County — from Crowfield to St. James Avenue.
Goose Creek sits on some of the busiest commuter routes in Berkeley County, with thousands traveling to and from Joint Base Charleston each day. The crashes we see most often happen along Red Bank Road, St. James Avenue, Highway 52 (Goose Creek Boulevard), Highway 176, College Park Road, and Crowfield Boulevard. When one happens, the at-fault driver’s insurer moves fast to pay you as little as possible. We move faster.

What You Can Recover After a Goose Creek Accident
When someone else’s negligence injures you, South Carolina law lets you pursue far more than just your emergency-room bill. A complete claim accounts for everything the crash has cost you — today and going forward.
How SC Injury Law Affects Your Goose Creek Case
South Carolina is an at-fault state — the driver or business that caused your injury, and their insurer, is responsible for the damages. Two rules shape almost every case.
Modified Comparative Negligence
You can still recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame. Found 20% responsible for a $100,000 claim, you receive $80,000.
This is exactly why insurers work so hard to shift blame onto you — every percentage point saves them money, and a local lawyer who can push back is worth far more than the fee.
The Three-Year Deadline
Under S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file. Claims against a city, county, or other government entity under the SC Tort Claims Act carry shorter deadlines and special notice rules.
Evidence and witness memories fade fast, so the sooner you act, the stronger your case.
