If you wish to claim compensation after a DUI accident, you must do so within a specific time limit. This is called the statute of limitations, which differs by state. In South Carolina, the statute of limitations is three years, which means you must start the legal process within three years from the date of your accident.
If you do not claim within this time, you release the responsible party from liability and cannot pursue compensation. However, there are exceptions, so it’s recommended to speak to a Greenville DUI lawyer to see if they apply to you.
