We Are Focused Exclusively on Personal Injury Cases
Personal injury attorneys represent people who suffer physical, emotional, or economic harm because of something another party did or didn’t do. Stewart Law Offices is a personal injury law firm in the truest sense: we only handle personal injury cases. We focus all our resources and skills on helping injured individuals like you get the justice and financial compensation you deserve.
Our personal injury practice areas include:
- Car accidents – There were nearly 150,000 motor vehicle accidents in South Carolina in a single recent year, according to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety. Negligent drivers cause many of these accidents. If your car accident resulted from another driver’s careless or otherwise unsafe behavior, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries under South Carolina law.
- Truck accidents – When a large commercial vehicle collides with a smaller passenger vehicle, the occupants in the passenger vehicle often suffer catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. Truck accident victims recover damages if the driver or the trucking company’s negligence caused the accident.
- Motorcycle crashes – Motorcyclists are susceptible to suffering severe, life-threatening injuries when involved in a collision with larger cars and trucks. We understand motorcycle victims’ unique challenges and will fight hard for fair compensation for their injuries.
- Bicycle accidents – Cyclists have the same rights to the road as motor vehicles, but without the protection of cars and trucks, they are vulnerable to serious injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, and road rash. We understand the challenges bicycle accident victims face and will fight hard to hold negligent drivers accountable and secure fair compensation.
- Pedestrian accidents – Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer catastrophic or even fatal injuries. Whether the case involves a crosswalk accident, parking lot collision, hit‑and‑run, or accidents involving children, we recognize the devastating impact these incidents have and will work tirelessly to pursue justice and compensation for victims.
- Boat accidents – Boating should be enjoyable, but accidents can happen when operators act carelessly or safety rules are ignored. Victims may suffer serious injuries, emotional distress, and unexpected financial burdens due to medical bills and time away from work. Understanding how these accidents occur and who may be responsible is an important step toward recovery and protecting your rights.
- Rideshare accidents (Uber/Lyft) – Rideshare accidents present unique insurance challenges. We know how to navigate the complexities of the rideshare company’s commercial insurance, the driver’s personal coverage, third‑party liability claims, and whether the driver was “on the clock” at the time of the crash. Our team will fight to ensure victims receive the compensation they deserve.
- Slip and fall accidents (Premises liability) – Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When injuries occur due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, broken stairs or handrails, debris in walkways, or inadequate security, victims may have a premises liability claim. We are committed to holding negligent property owners accountable and recovering fair compensation.
- Dog bites – South Carolina law holds dog owners strictly liable for bites and attacks. Victims often suffer medical expenses, scarring, disfigurement, psychological trauma, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We will fight to protect your rights and recover the full compensation you need to heal and move forward.
- Work accidents – Workplace accidents can prevent an injured employee from working and earning a living. If you’ve been injured on the job, you may be entitled to benefits under South Carolina’s workers’ compensation laws. Our knowledgeable attorneys can file a workers’ compensation claim and any third-party lawsuits you might have grounds to pursue.
- Wrongful death – South Carolina law allows the spouse, child, or beneficiary of someone who dies because of someone else’s legal fault to receive compensation for their loss. If you’ve recently experienced a tragedy like this, we can pursue a wrongful death claim on your behalf to hold the negligent party accountable.

Steps to Take After an Accident in Rock Hill
Taking the right steps immediately after an accident can protect both your health and your legal rights. Here’s what you should do:
Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even if you don’t believe you are seriously injured, it is important to see a doctor right away. Some injuries, such as internal bleeding, concussions, or soft tissue damage, may not show symptoms until hours or days later. Delaying medical care puts your health at risk and can weaken your claim by creating gaps in your medical records.
Report the Accident
Make sure the accident is reported to the proper authority. For car accidents, call 911 and obtain a police report. Slip and fall incidents should be reported to the property owner or manager, workplace injuries must be reported to your supervisor, and dog bites should be reported to animal control. Having an official report strengthens your case.
Document Everything
If you are physically able, gather as much evidence as possible. Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Collect witness information, write down what happened while it is fresh in your mind, and save all receipts related to medical treatment, prescriptions, or repairs.
Preserve Evidence
Do not repair or throw away damaged property until it has been documented. Keep clothing, helmets, or other items that were affected. Save all medical records and bills, and consider keeping a pain journal to show how your injuries impact your daily life.
Contact a Lawyer Before Talking to Insurance
It is best to let your attorney handle communications with insurance companies. Avoid giving recorded statements, signing documents, or accepting early settlement offers without legal review. Also, refrain from posting about the accident on social media, as insurers may use your words against you.
Follow Your Doctor’s Orders
Attend all medical appointments, complete prescribed treatments and therapy, take medications as directed, and follow any activity restrictions. Ignoring medical advice can give insurance companies an excuse to argue that your injuries are not serious or that you made them worse.
