My experience with this firm has been nothing short of unbelievable. Mr. Hood and Tracey, his paralegal are very professional and dependable. I would definitely use them again.

Our experience with The Law Offices of David Hood was extremely pleasant. Mr. Hood is very knowledgeable and helpful. Tracey Weiland was very helpful and patient with our special needs. They were there during a difficult process for us. Went out of their way to explain things and walk us through the legal process. Thanks so much. Highly recommend their practice.

The thing that I love most about them is that they listened to me thoroughly and didn’t try to interrupt until I was finished. Everything was related to me in layman’s terms and they made sure to ask that if I had any questions about anything. The fact that David came down from Columbia just to speak with me in person spoke VOLUMES TO ME! Peter, Ali and everyone that had a hand in case were always very professional and I always knew what was going on with anything involving my case. They took my case when a prominent firm in my city stated that they couldn’t help me so I feel very BLESSED that I had them fighting for me. A GODSENT!

A lawyer who handles a variety of injury cases

When you need to hire a lawyer, one thing to look for is a lawyer with lots of contact with cases like yours. In more than 30 years of injury practice, we have resolved many cases in these areas:

  • Car accidents — We work to ensure that gravely injured drivers, passengers, bikers, walkers and bicyclists receive the full payment they deserve. Call today for your free consult.
  • Truck accidents — In 2016, the SCDPS reported that semi-trailers were implicated in 814 injury collisions that claimed 53 lives. These accidents are complex, which is why we get the experts needed for the best possible results. We also represent victims of truck accidents throughout the state. Call, email or text now if you have questions!
  • Work accidents — With most job injuries, the victim must rely on Workers’ Comp as their only remedy. However, if someone else (not on the job) causes the work injury, then they could also be found at fault. An example would be a truck driver who gets hit by another driver. The injured worker can file a Workers’ Comp claim, then file a lawsuit to recover personal injury damages. Let us help you!
  • Medical malpractice — We fight to hold negligent healthcare providers accountable for injuries to patients. Call today for answers!
  • Motorcycle accidents— Riding a bike can be a blast. However, we all know bikes can be dangerous. Usually because the other drivers aren’t paying attention. And the injuries are often very serious and sometimes deadly. Let us help you so you and your family can move on down the road.

We accept injury cases on a contingency basis, so we never charge attorney fees upfront. You only pay us after you’ve gotten a settlement or court verdict.

Damages available for injuries in South Carolina

Damages fall into two main categories:

  • Economic damages — You can claim your medical bills related to your injury, now and in the future, as losses. If you’ve missed work due to the injury, you can recover your lost earnings and benefits. If your injury will prevent you from making a living in the future, you can claim lost future earnings.
  • Noneconomic damages — These are losses such as your pain and mental suffering, scars, loss of quality of life, and enjoyment of life. It is very difficult to put a dollar amount on these losses, which is why it’s important to get reliable advice from an experienced attorney. We have over 30 years helping people figure out all their damages. Call today to see how we can help you!
