Mt. Pleasant Car Accidents Attorney
Piedmont Dram Shop Liability Lawyer
According to the 2007 South Carolina Traffic Collision Fact Book created by the Department of Public Safety, a traffic crash occurs every 4.7 minutes, and a fatal crash occurs every 8.9 hours. One person is injured on South Carolina roads and highways every 10.7 minutes.
Many of these injuries and fatalities are due to negligence or carelessness on the part of the other motorist. He or she may be a distracted driver, texting or chatting on a cell phone while driving instead of keeping his or her eyes on the road. A motorist may be driving while impaired — under the influence of illegal drugs, prescription drugs or alcohol.

Problems on the Road
South Carolina has a high rate of fatality due in part to poor secondary roads, which are often poorly signed, lit and marked, including Highway 17, the Savannah Highway and the Maybach Highway. Drinking and driving are facts of life here in South Carolina. According to the 2007 South Carolina Traffic Collision Fact Book, one pedestrian is killed every 3.4 days on average, and one person is killed or injured in a DUI crash every 2.1 hours.
Liquor Liability
Every liquor store, bar or nightclub is accountable for dram shop liability. The law prohibits them from serving anyone who is obviously inebriated, or anyone who is under the legal drinking age. The bar may be held liable for damages if you are involved in an accident resulting from their negligence.
