Car Wreck Cases We Handle

Bauer & Metro, P.C. leverages decades of collective experience to help victims injured in all types of traffic accidents. As a firm with a legacy for litigating challenging cases across the Lowcountry, we know the types of issues involved in our clients’ claims and how to overcome them successfully. This includes dealing with cases that involve out-of-town tourists who vacation in Hilton Head, as well as wrecks caused by drunk drivers, distracted drivers, and commercial vehicles. 

Examples of the issues we’re prepared to tackle:

• Driver Negligence. Proving that the other motorist was negligent is often the key component of a car accident case. At Bauer & Metro, P.C., we conduct meticulous investigations to identify when at-fault drivers violated traffic laws, drove recklessly, or otherwise failed to uphold their duties to safely operate their vehicles. 
• Vehicle vs. Non-Vehicle Accidents. While we handle all types of car accident cases, we also devote a large part of our practice to fighting for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists who were injured by negligent drivers. These victims often experience severe and costly injuries and have cases that insurance companies want to quickly settle for less than they’re worth. 
• Serious Injuries & Wrongful Death. Sometimes, car wrecks change victims’ lives profoundly. In cases involving victims who’ve suffered serious or permanent injuries, we take the time to fully calculate all past and future losses and fight for full financial recoveries. We do the same in survival and wrongful death actions, which give surviving family members an opportunity to secure justice and compensation for the incalculable losses they’ve suffered. 
• Commercial Vehicle Wrecks. From trucking accidents and bus accidents to claims involving work vehicles, delivery vans, and other commercially owned automobiles, commercial vehicle accident cases can introduce a greater potential for disputes and challenges. Our firm has the resources to help victims level the playing field with corporations and insurance companies that handle these cases and to fight for the best possible recovery. 
• Drunk Driving Accidents. Hilton Head is a hot spot for tourism, which unfortunately means that there are many drunk driving accidents. Our attorneys have successfully handled many cases involving clients who were injured by intoxicated motorists, including cases where we were able to hold social hosts liable for serving minors who later got behind the wheel.
• Defective Products. Our comprehensive accident investigations allow us to identify when wrecks were potentially caused by defective vehicles or auto parts, such as faulty tires, brakes, or airbags. In these situations, we help victims pursue products liability actions against the responsible manufacturers, distributors, or retailers.
• Hit-and-Run Accidents. Drivers who fail to stop at the scene of an accident commit a crime, but even when they pay the price in criminal court, victims can still be left high and dry when it comes to the damages they’ve incurred. If you’ve been hurt in a hit-and-run accident, or were injured by a driver without insurance, we can explore your options for recovering needed compensation. This includes UM/UIM claims filed with your own insurance company under an uninsured/underinsured motorist policy if you have this optional coverage.
