When you are ready to take action, call Mickle & Bass. You won’t pay anything for a consultation. You can tell us everything about your crash, and we can review all of your legal options. You will have no obligation to work with us.
Under South Carolina law, you generally will have three years from the date of an accident to bring a personal injury claim. If you lost a loved one in a wreck, you will have three years from the date of death. For this reason, you should not wait to get legal help.
Mickle & Bass serves clients hurt in car accidents in Charleston, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Rock Hill, including out-of-state visitors. As some of the best car accident lawyers in South Carolina, we are dedicated to advocating for those who have suffered due to the negligence of others.
Many of our attorneys have previously served as Commissioners with the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission before transitioning to private practice. Their commitment to helping victims of reckless behavior drives our mission to provide compassionate legal representation for those harmed in collisions.
We understand the physical, emotional, and financial burdens that crash victims face. Our team is fully committed to pursuing maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. As your trusted collision lawyers, we will fight relentlessly to ensure you receive the support you need to recover.
Protecting your rights when dealing with insurance companies is our top priority. Unlike insurers who prioritize profits, we focus exclusively on the well-being of our clients. To us, this isn’t just a job; it’s a privilege to support you during this challenging time.
Reach out to us today for a free consultation regarding your accident. We operate on a contingency basis, meaning you’ll pay no legal fees unless we secure a financial recovery for you. Let us review your case and provide you with the guidance you deserve.
Get medical attention. You need to protect your health. A timely diagnosis can also clearly establish that your injuries are crash-related. Continue to follow your doctor’s orders.
Order a copy of your accident report. You can ask for a copy from the law enforcement agency that responded to your crash such as the Charleston Police Department or Charleston County Sheriff’s Office.
Keep your information. Hold on to everything related to your crash, including medical bills, insurance company letters, crash scene photos, driver information and eyewitness contact information.
Keep a record. Write down what you remember about your accident and keep a journal that documents your injuries and your recovery.
Contact your insurer. If your auto insurance policy requires it, report your accident to the insurer. This can preserve your right to file a claim if one is necessary.
Don’t speak with other insurers. You can decline to give a statement or to accept a settlement offer until you speak with your lawyer first.
Stay off social media. Never discuss your accident or legal claim on Facebook, Twitter or other social media sites. Insurance companies can try to use your comments and photos against you.

The attorneys of Mickle & Bass will work tirelessly to pursue full and fair compensation for you. We understand the life-changing impact of injuries such as:
We will focus on how an accident impacted you and seek a financial recovery that may include:
To recover damages in a South Carolina car accident lawsuit, you must prove that another party’s fault caused the wreck and your injuries. In the majority of cases we handle at Mickle & Bass, the fault is the negligence of another driver.
Negligence basically is the failure of a person to act as a reasonable person would under the same circumstances.
In many other cases that we handle, the fault lies with the manufacturer of a defective automobile or auto part. Defects that commonly cause crashes or worsen injuries in a crash include:
If you were harmed due to a defective auto or auto part, we can pursue a product liability claim against the manufacturer and/or distributor on your behalf.
For bodily injury to one person
For bodily injury to all persons in one accident
For all property damage in a single accident
Given the rising costs of medical treatment, your losses from a traffic accident may quickly exceed insurance limits. If you have underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage, our traffic accident counsel can assist you in filing a claim with your own insurer. Many drivers in South Carolina violate the law by operating without liability insurance. Fortunately, the law requires all drivers to carry uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, which we can utilize if you’re involved in a collision with an uninsured driver or a hit-and-run incident.
One of the first steps we will take in your case is reviewing your insurance policy to ensure you understand all available options. Keep in mind that multiple parties may share liability in your crash, and our skilled collision lawyers will work diligently to identify all those responsible. Our goal is to recover the maximum compensation available for your losses, providing you with the support and advocacy you deserve.
We can provide a free consultation by phone or by meeting with you at our offices in Columbia, Charleston, Myrtle Beach or Rock Hill. Connect with us today and get started on your case.
