South Carolina Wrongful Death Lawyers

When a tragedy occurs, we help families get justice

Rogers, Patrick, Westbrook & Brickman, LLC personal injury and wrongful death lawyers have decades of experience helping families when a loved one is killed or seriously injured due to defective products, unsafe premises or because of the negligence or malice of another person or company. We know that money can’t bring someone back or heal wounds, but it helps to cover immediate needs and build a financial foundation for the future.

You won’t see our firm on tv advertisements or on billboards, but you will find us in courtrooms throughout the country fighting for justice on behalf of those who were killed or seriously injured through no fault of their own. We are respected by peers and adversaries alike for our work on complex personal injury and wrongful death cases. We do not treat you like a number nor do we utilize a cookie-cutter approach. Every case is different. Every family’s circumstances are unique. We will work with you to create an individual course of action that respects your wishes and needs.

Typically, in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, the law affords compensation to cover medical expenses, long-term care needs and compensation for lost wages. It also allows punitive awards that take into account the negligence or malice of the at-fault party.

Our attorneys have been helping victims and their families for more than 40 years and have the resources and skill to effectively litigate the most complicated of cases. Rogers, Patrick, Westbrook & Brickman, LLC was named a 2021 Best Law Firm by U.S. News & World Report in the areas of products liability and personal injury litigation.
