Exceptional Personal Service
With any injury matter – where the damages are serious – you need the most skilled and experienced attorney to personally lead and direct your legal matter. You need the attorney whose name is on the building, not on the door, or even the desk. There is no margin for error. Experience means results.
No Upfront Costs. No Risk.
You don’t pay unless we win.
All injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis—if we don’t recover for you, you don’t pay.
Do You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer in South Carolina?
If your injury required medical treatment, affected your ability to work, or may impact your future—the answer is yes.
Insurance companies move quickly to minimize what they pay. Your case value depends on how well your injuries, treatment, and long-term impact are documented and explained to the insurance company. That’s what we do.
We step in early to:
- Protect you from insurance tactics
- Build and legally document the evidence needed to prove fault
- Document the full extent of your injuries with medical records and experts if necessary
- Pursue the maximum financial recovery that is available through any and all insurance policies from all the parties legally responsible
This is where our firm is different.
We don’t just understand the law—we understand the injury. With Dr. Debora Brown’s medical expertise, we evaluate what your injury will mean 5, 10, even 15 years from now—and build your case accordingly. Dr. Debora Brown, PT, DPT, has previously been qualified as an expert witness and testified in the Charleston County Court of Common Pleas.

At The Law Office of Peter David Brown, we help people from Charleston, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Moncks Corner, Goose Creek, Summerville and Orangeburg protect their case from day one—and pursue the full compensation they deserve.
You may have a case if:
- Someone else caused your injury (car accident, fall, negligence)
- You required medical treatment
- Your injury impacted your work or daily life
- There is insurance coverage involved
- Severity of your injuries
- Cost of medical treatment (now and future)
- Lost income and earning capacity
- Long-term or permanent effects
- Strength of evidence and documentation
- Talking to insurance adjusters too early
- Accepting a quick settlement with their promise to pay future medical bills, which they often deny!
- Not following medical advice
- Delaying necessary treatment

- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering

If your injuries are more than minor, it is strongly recommended to hire an attorney. Insurance companies are trained to reduce payouts, and having an experienced lawyer protects the value of your claim and keeps you from making mistakes that could hurt you and cost you thousands of dollars.
Every case is different. The value depends on your injuries, medical treatment, and long-term impact. Cases involving permanent injury or future care are typically worth more. We can explain all this and help maximize your recovery.
Some cases settle in a few months. More serious cases can take longer, especially if litigation is involved. Rushing a case often results in less compensation. Faster is NOT better!
South Carolina follows comparative negligence rules. You may still recover compensation, but it can be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
Most cases settle without trial. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to court—because that’s what leads to stronger outcomes.
When faced with an injury due to someone else’s negligence, securing experienced legal representation is crucial for obtaining the compensation you deserve. Our firm combines legal expertise with medical insight to ensure your case is thoroughly documented and effectively presented. Don’t navigate this challenging process alone; reach out for a free consultation to discuss your options.
