Once you meet with Mickle & Bass, we become your attorneys. Everything you share with us remains confidential, and we will always act in your best interest.
At Mickle & Bass, we are committed to standing with injured individuals in accident cases; we never represent insurance companies. As some of the top lawyers in South Carolina, we prioritize advocacy for our clients and work diligently to protect their rights.
First, we will assess the details of your accident and the extent of your injuries, outlining the legal options available to you. This initial consultation is completely free, with no obligations. You are not required to proceed with us unless you choose to.
If we decide to move forward together, we will ask you to sign a retainer agreement, which outlines our contingency fee arrangement. You won’t pay us anything upfront; if we do not recover money for you, we do not get paid.
As your legal representatives, we will take a fixed percentage of any recovery we secure on your behalf. This fee comes directly from the settlement or court award, meaning you will never pay out of pocket.
Our goal is to negotiate a settlement or secure a court award that fully compensates you financially. Our law office focuses on ensuring you receive fair compensation tailored to your specific situation.
In a personal injury case, South Carolina law allows you to seek compensation for pain and suffering, as well as punitive damages if the responsible party acted with willful, wanton, or reckless conduct. With our local lawyers by your side, you can confidently navigate this process, knowing you are supported by a dedicated law firm that is committed to defending your rights.
It’s important for you to become familiar with us at Mickle & Bass, just as we aim to understand you. We recognize that you may have questions and concerns in the coming days, and we’re here to assist you. You don’t have to navigate this process alone. To begin, we will ask you to provide specific information. If you don’t have everything on hand, don’t worry — we can help you obtain it. The information we need will include the following:
Identification, such as a valid driver’s license, state-issued ID, passport, etc., with your full legal name for the record
Any accident reports filed by your employer, the police, or any other authority (e.g. store security, building manager, etc.)
Insurance policies, health insurance cards, or “dec” (coverage declaration) sheets from any insurance you hold that might be applied to your accident
Correspondence, forms, and receipts you have received since your accident from insurers, doctors, garages (for car accident repairs or estimates), etc.
Any additional information you have about your accident, such as photos or video you or companions may have taken, notes you have made, or the names and contact information for those who witnessed the accident
