We Handle All Types of Car Wreck Cases

As one of the Lowcountry’s most trusted personal injury practices, Bauer & Metro, P.C. has the insight to handle even the toughest cases. From resolving claims involving single-vehicle wrecks and multi-vehicle collisions to fighting for victory in challenging cases involving disputed liability, our services are meant to make you whole. Examples of the types of cases we handle include:

• Negligent motorists. Our team has championed the rights of countless folks whose lives were forever changed by the negligence of other drivers. We handle cases involving drunk driving, distracted driving, traffic violations, reckless driving, and other forms of driver negligence.
• Commercial vehicles. Companies that own and operate commercial vehicles are ultimately responsible for the safety of their drivers and their fleet. If you’ve been hurt in a trucking accident, a bus accident, or another wreck involving a commercial vehicle, we have the experience to help you take on corporations and commercial insurance carriers.
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents. Pedestrians and bicyclists have the least amount of protection of any road user, which is why they disproportionately suffer serious injuries in traffic accidents. If you or someone you love were injured by a motorist as a pedestrian or a bicyclist, we have what it takes to fight for the full recovery you deserve.
• Fatal wrecks. Auto accidents remain a leading cause of death in Bluffton and South Carolina. If you lost a loved one in a motor vehicle crash, we can help pursue justice through survival and wrongful death actions that allow eligible family members to recover compensation for their emotional and financial losses. 
• Serious injuries. Car wrecks can devastate victims and families, especially when they result in catastrophic injuries. As a powerhouse personal injury firm, we handle high stakes cases involving brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other injuries that result in significant medical bills, long-term needs, or lifetimes of limitations.
• Public entities. When government-owned vehicles cause preventable car accidents, there are unique rules and procedures that victims must know to preserve their right to compensation. This includes special processes for notifying the government of a claim and shortened statutes of limitations. At Bauer & Metro, P.C., we have experience helping folks injured in wrecks involving transit systems, public buses, city work vehicles, utility-owned vehicles, and more. 
• Products liability. Sometimes, wrecks are caused by auto defects that should have never been allowed to hit the production line or remain on the market. By conducting thorough investigations, we can explore whether a defective vehicle component caused your wreck and provide the firepower needed to take on automakers and other product manufacturers. 
• UM / UIM insurance. Uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage is optional insurance that you can purchase as part of your auto policy. If you have this coverage, it can make the difference when you’re injured by a driver who doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance to fully cover all your losses. It can also be vital in cases involving hit-and-run accidents. Our firm always explores the potential for bringing UM/UIM claims under a client’s own policy to maximize their ultimate recoveries.
