Park Circle Personal Injury Lawyer
Hurt in an accident around Park Circle or North Charleston? You don’t need a billboard lawyer from another city — you need a neighbor who’s right down the road.
Brent Heist works out of an office at 2616 Ashley Phosphate Road and fights for injured families across North Charleston — and you pay nothing unless we win.
A Local Injury Lawyer Who Knows the Neighborhood
Heist Law Firm is based right here at 2616 Ashley Phosphate Road, and we represent injured people and working families across North Charleston every day — from Park Circle to Northwoods and every community in between.
North Charleston is one of the busiest corridors in the Lowcountry, and that traffic comes with risk. The crashes we see most often happen along Rivers Avenue, Ashley Phosphate Road, Dorchester Road, and the I-26 and I-526 interchanges, where heavy commuter traffic mixes with commercial trucks heading to the port and the airport. 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 North Charleston 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 North Charleston 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.
