Charleston Personal Injury Case Results
Insurance companies count on you taking their first, low offer. We don’t let them — and when they won’t pay fairly, we’re not afraid to take them to trial.
Here are real recoveries Heist Law Firm has won for injured people across South Carolina.
We Took It to Trial — and Won
Before trial, the defendant’s insurance company offered just $250,000 to settle. We said no. On June 11, 2026, a Horry County jury returned a unanimous $1.75 million verdict — nearly seven times the insurer’s best pre-trial offer.
Court of Common Pleas, Fifteenth Judicial Circuit · Case No. 2023CP2606695
“BEYOND PHENOMENAL! They worked hard and refused to settle for anything less than what I deserved. They got me three times the amount that two other well-known lawyers said I could get.”
“Attorney Brent Heist is amazing. He got me more in my settlement than I ever thought I could get — a go-getter and a fighter, better than some attorneys practicing 30 years.”
