What to Do After an Injury Around Spartanburg
Medical care comes first. A family member or friend can handle the rest while you're in the hospital.
- Get emergency care. Call 911. Go to every follow-up, surgery and therapy appointment your doctors order, and keep the paperwork.
- Find out which agency came.
- Get a report number. It makes the report far easier to request.
- Have someone take pictures. Photograph your injuries as they change, plus the scene, the hazard or the vehicles.
- Collect names. Get the other person's insurer and policy number and a phone number for anyone who saw it happen.
- Save every receipt and letter. Bills, pay stubs, mileage to appointments and insurance mail all belong in one folder.
Keep a running list of every provider you see and the date. That list makes it much easier to gather records and bills later.
If you were passing through or visiting, a family member can get the report number, the other side's insurance details and photos of the scene. Ask each doctor, in Spartanburg and at home, for copies of your records. Save hotel, travel and rental car receipts if the injury changed your plans. Students can keep copies of campus police or clinic paperwork along with everything else.
How Long You Have
Most South Carolina injury claims must be filed within three years.1 That is a deadline for a lawsuit in court, and an open insurance claim does not pause it.2 Claims against a state or local government agency have their own deadline, which can be shorter, and there could be caps on damages, depending on the facts of your case.3

South Carolina Law on This
- Most personal injury claims in South Carolina must be filed within three years.1
- South Carolina's statute of limitations generally sets the deadline for filing a lawsuit in court. Simply opening a claim with an insurance company or negotiating with an insurance adjuster does not stop the statute of limitations from running.2
- Claims against a South Carolina state or local government agency have their own filing deadline, which can be shorter, and there could be caps on damages under the South Carolina Tort Claims Act, depending on the facts of the case.3
