SUMMERVILLE AND CHARLESTON

PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS WHO GO TO TRIAL

When insurance companies see our name on a claim, they know we’re not bluffing. Attorneys William Crantford and Jerry Meehan are graduates of Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College in Dubois, Wyoming — one of the most elite trial advocacy programs in the country. Fewer than 2,000 attorneys nationwide have completed this training.

That matters because insurance adjusters track which lawyers actually go to court and which ones always settle cheap. When they see a TLC graduate across the table, they know lowball offers won’t work. That’s why we’ve recovered over $70 million for our clients, including a $44.8 million verdict in a single premises liability case.

We handle car accidents, truck wrecks, motorcycle crashes, construction injuries, premises liability, wrongful death claims, dog bites, and workers’ compensation claims throughout South Carolina. Our offices in Charleston, Summerville, and Florence mean we’re where you need us.

Our experienced legal team will fight for fair compensation for your personal injury lawsuit, from medical bills and lost income to punitive damages and non-economic losses.

You pay nothing up front. We only collect a fee if we win your case. Your consultation is always free.

WHY INSURANCE COMPANIES TAKE US SERIOUSLY

Most personal injury firms settle every case without ever filing a lawsuit. Insurance companies know this and adjust their offers accordingly to minimize payouts. At Crantford Meehan Attorneys at Law, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial — because sometimes it does. That preparation is what drives bigger settlements and better outcomes for our clients.

When you hire us, you work directly with William and Jerry — not a paralegal, not a case manager. Your attorneys answer your calls, attend your depositions, and stand next to you in court if that’s what it takes. Accident victims in South Carolina can count on our legal representation to seek compensation for physical injuries and emotional pain.

We’ll Treat Your Personal Injury Claim As If It’s Our Own

At Crantford Meehan Attorneys at Law, we treat every client with the same care and commitment we’d give our own family. From the moment you contact us, you’ll work directly with experienced attorneys who fight for your rights, communicate clearly, and stay focused on getting full and fair compensation for your case.

  • Car Accident

    Were you injured in a motor vehicle accident due to someone else’s negligence? If so, you may be able to get compensation. Charleston County has a high rate of vehicle collisions, and many are due to careless driver behavior. You should not have to pay for someone else’s carelessness or poor decisions. Let our experienced car accident lawyers in Charleston help you get the justice and full compensation that you deserve through an insurance claim, lawsuit, or court trial. From bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents to motorcycle accidents and car crashes, you can count on our team to pursue justice.

  • Truck Accident

    Have you been injured in a traffic accident involving a large commercial truck in Charleston? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses. An accident with one of the many large tractor-trailer trucks, or “18-wheelers,” that we commonly see in and around Charleston is frightening and rarely turns out well for a smaller vehicle. These serious accidents can lead to extensive medical treatment and life-threatening injuries. Truck drivers are often tired or simply careless after long hours on the road. When the truck driver or the trucking company’s carelessness or negligence leads to a severe injury accident, they could and should be held accountable.

  • Personal Injury

    If you have sustained injuries in Charleston due to the negligence or carelessness of another person or business, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Personal injury cases can help recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from your injury. The best way to ensure you receive the justice you deserve is to contact an experienced Charleston personal injury attorney who will advocate for you throughout the process.

  • Medical Malpractice

    If you or a family member were a victim of negligent care by a doctor, dentist, or other licensed healthcare professional or facility, you might have a right to obtain compensation for the injuries you suffered. Seeking the assistance of experienced medical malpractice lawyers in Charleston can be a crucial step in this process. The legal system can be complicated, but an attorney can help hold the at-fault party accountable. You can count on our legal services for medical malpractice and nursing home abuse.

  • Construction Accident

    Construction sites are some of the most hazardous workplaces in Charleston and Summerville, South Carolina. Workers face dangers from heavy machinery, falling objects, electrical hazards, and toxic materials every day. Even strict safety measures cannot prevent all injuries. If you’ve suffered a construction site injury, you don’t have to handle mounting bills and missed work alone. Our team can make all the difference in your workers’ comp case. From medical bills and future treatment to non-economic damages, we will fight to get full compensation for your suffering and financial losses.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • When should I consider hiring a lawyer?

    As soon as possible after your injury. South Carolina has a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, but evidence disappears fast. Witnesses forget details, surveillance footage gets deleted, and the insurance company starts building its case against you immediately. The sooner you have an experienced attorney protecting your interests, the stronger your case will be. At Crantford Meehan Attorneys at Law, your initial consultation is free, and you pay nothing unless we win.

  • What type of evidence will my lawyer look for?

  • How long do I have to file a lawsuit in South Carolina?
