Columbia, South Carolina, Personal Injury Attorney

Representing People Injured in Car Accidents or by Other Negligent Acts

When you suffer an injury due to the negligence, recklessness or carelessness of another person or business, you still have medical bills to pay, potential lost wages during your recovery, and long-term treatment expenses to consider. An insurance company may offer you a settlement but before you accept, you should speak with an experienced attorney about what you should consider in valuing your injury for settlement purposes.

At the Law Offices of Lori S. Murray, we are here to help. Contact our office online or by phone at 803-807-2640 if you were in a car accident or suspect you were the victim of medical malpractice.

Our lawyer formerly defended insurance companies against personal injury claims and knows how to value your case as well as how to battle with an unreasonable insurance company. Attorney Murray's legal skill is nationally-recognized; she was a speaker at the American Bar Association National Conference on Emerging Issues in Premises Liability Litigation.

Representation that Suits Your Needs and Specific to Your Injury

Personal injuries can occur in many different forms. While not an exclusive list, we have handled:

• Car accidents. Any type of motor vehicle crash, including motorcycle accidents, truck wrecks, bicycle or pedestrian collisions, and ATV or boating accidents are often accompanied by an injury to those involved. We seek compensation for victims of car accidents and any other motorized vehicle wreck.
• Premises liability. Slip and fall cases are common premises liability issues, meaning the owner has failed to maintain the safety of an area that customers or visitors often use. For example, we successfully settled a slip and fall at a major toy store chain settled for over $200K as well as a similar injury at a hotel that settled for $90k.
• Medical malpractice. These cases can include a failure to diagnose, failure to treat, lack of informed consent or simply left behind foreign objects. We successfully settled a foreign objects case involving a sponge being left inside a patient post-surgery for over $150k.
• Animal attacks. Typically these cases involve dog bites. We settled one such case for over $50k.
• Nursing home abuse or neglect. These cases can range from the occurrence of pressure ulcers (bedsores) to malnutrition, dehydration and varying degrees of abuse.
• Workers' compensation. Any injury that occurs while on the job is compensable. Injuries can be temporary or permanent and often involve injuries to the back, knee or shoulder. We successfully represented a employee who broke his neck while at work, securing a $100k settlement for his injuries.
