Yarborough Applegate Attorneys at Law

This past weekend, the 6th Annual Walk Like MADD Lowcountry brought our community together for a critical cause. Proudly presented by Yarborough Applegate, this event was a sobering reminder of why the fight against drunk driving must go on. ?? In just three years, from 2019 to 2022, drunk driving fatalities in South Carolina rose a staggering 72%. It’s a heartbreaking statistic, but with every step we take, we’re pushing for change. ?? On the bright side, MADD’s relentless advocacy is driving progress. This May, a new DUI law—one we fought hard for—went into effect, and life-saving technology to prevent drunk driving is closer than ever. Together, we’re making strides to save lives and ensure safer roads. Thank you to everyone who joined us, walked with us, and supported this critical mission near and dear to all of us at Yarborough Applegate.? #WalkLikeMADD #NoMoreVictims #CharlestonSC

????????????: Each case is unique, so it depends. Most of our cases are not resolved in the “pre-suit” phase, and typically require the filing of a lawsuit before a settlement or trial. We aggressively prepare every single case as if it is going to a jury trial, because we know that is the only way to force a fair and reasonable settlement before trial.? ? #PersonalInjuryLaw #TrialReady #KnowYourRights #InjuryLawyerTips #JusticeForAll #LegalAdvice #CourtroomPreparation #FairSettlements #LitigationMatters #ClientFocusedLaw

Yarborough Applegate, alongside co-counsel Charles M. Condon, Jr., secured a $6.25 million settlement for a family whose lives were tragically impacted by a drunk driving collision in North Charleston. THE CRASH & AFTERMATH On December 22, 2022, a mother and her son were hit head-on by a drunk driver in North Charleston, resulting in severe orthopedic injuries for both. The mother required multiple surgeries, while her son, after months of suffering from traumatic brain injury symptoms, tragically passed away. Despite the drunk driver being charged with reckless driving, the lack of a measured blood alcohol level complicated the legal process, leaving many unanswered questions. AGGRESSIVE PURSUIT & THE RESULT To pursue answers, we filed motions for pre-suit discovery, securing subpoenas and court orders to access cell phone data from the drunk driver and his passenger. This data revealed they had been "bar hopping" before the collision, leading to subpoenas for drink receipts from multiple bars. Throughout depositions, the driver claimed memory loss due to a head injury, complicating the case. Despite these challenges, we gathered key testimony, including from a bar manager who had removed them for intoxication, and ultimately secured a global settlement for the family from the driver and three bars involved. “The family suffered tremendously as a result of this collision,” says Condon. “While money can in no way make up for their losses, we are pleased with the result and happy that it provides some semblance of closure to the family.” Learn more about this case and its outcome online: https://lnkd.in/dbcHYa2h Disclaimer: every case is unique, and prior results do not guarantee future outcomes. #JusticeForVictims #DrunkDrivingAwareness #PersonalInjuryLaw #TrialLawyers #FightForJustice #InjuryLawyers #LegalVictory #CatastrophicInjury #WrongfulDeath #VictimsRights
