Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a product liability lawsuit in South Carolina?
In South Carolina you generally have three years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline you may lose your right to seek compensation.
What types of product defects can I sue for in Lancaster?
You can sue for three main types of defects: design defects which make a product inherently dangerous manufacturing defects that occur during production and marketing defects like missing warnings or instructions. South Carolina law holds sellers and manufacturers responsible for all three types.
Do I need to prove the company was negligent to win my case?
Not necessarily. South Carolina follows strict liability for product defects. This means you do not have to prove the company was careless. You only need to show the product was defective and that the defect caused your injury while you used the product as intended.
