Available 24/7 - Immediate Response for Irmo Accident Victims

Attorney Matt McGuire

Irmo's explosive growth along the I-26 corridor creates constant collision risks where distracted drivers on Harbison Boulevard, aggressive commuters rushing to Columbia, and congested shopping district traffic cause devastating accidents daily at intersections near Dutch Fork Road and throughout this lakeside community.

Whether you were rear-ended on St. Andrews Road during rush hour, T-boned by a red-light runner near Friarsgate, injured in a hit-and-run leaving Saluda Shoals Park, or suffered catastrophic harm in any Irmo collision, South Carolina law holds negligent drivers accountable for medical expenses, lost wages, and permanent injuries. Matt McGuire has represented Irmo accident victims for over three decades, pursuing maximum compensation from negligent drivers in Lexington County courts.

Types of Accidents on Irmo Roads

From St. Andrews Road rear-ends to I-26 merge crashes, we represent Irmo victims injured in all types of motor vehicle accidents.

St. Andrews Road Collisions

Heavy commuter traffic, shopping center entrances, and distracted drivers create rear-end, sideswipe, and T-bone crashes along this busy corridor.

Lake Murray Boulevard Accidents

Recreational traffic near boat launches and marinas mixing with local commuters causes collisions on this scenic but dangerous route.

Harbison Boulevard Crashes

Shopping centers, restaurants, and retail areas where parking lot exits and congested traffic create collision risks throughout the day.

I-26 Access Accidents

On-ramps and off-ramps where merging traffic and high speeds create devastating crashes for Irmo commuters.

Intersection Collisions

T-bone crashes at St. Andrews and Harbison, Dutch Fork and Lake Murray, and other busy Irmo crossroads where red-light running causes devastating injuries.

School Zone Accidents

Speeding through zones near Irmo High School, Dutch Fork High, or elementary schools endangering children and parents during drop-off and pick-up.

Evidence Disappears Quickly

Traffic camera footage gets overwritten, witnesses forget details, and insurance companies build defenses. Call immediately after any Irmo accident.

McGuire Law's Core Values

Car accident victims face mounting medical bills, lost income, and aggressive insurance companies. Our values center on protecting your rights while fighting for maximum compensation.

Immediate Response

We respond within hours of accidents—investigating scenes, gathering evidence, and communicating with insurance companies before they build defenses against you.

No Upfront Costs

We work on contingency—you pay nothing unless we recover compensation. Medical treatment can begin immediately without worrying about how to pay.

Insurance Communication Handling

We handle all adjuster communications, preventing recorded statements and releases that destroy claims. Insurance companies deal with us, not you.

Full Damage Recovery

We don't just cover medical bills—we pursue compensation for pain and suffering, permanent disability, lost earning capacity, and full quality of life impacts.

Trial-Ready Preparation

Insurance Company Tactics & Countermeasures

Insurance adjusters use proven tactics to minimize your recovery. We know their playbook and how to defeat it.

Quick Settlement Offers

Low offers within days before you understand injury severity. We ensure you know your case's full value before considering any settlement.

Recorded Statements

Adjusters seek statements when you're injured and medicated, then twist words to deny claims. We handle all communications.

Injury Minimization

Claims that whiplash resolves quickly or soft tissue injuries aren't serious. We document full injury impacts with medical experts.

Surveillance Operations

Filming you at stores or working in your yard to claim injuries are exaggerated. We prepare clients for this invasive tactic.

Pre-Existing Condition Arguments

Attributing injuries to prior health issues. We establish that accidents caused new injuries or aggravated pre-existing conditions.

Delay Tactics

Dragging out claims hoping financial desperation forces inadequate settlements. We push aggressively for timely resolution.

The McGuire Law Difference

Car accident cases require experience, resources, and willingness to take cases to trial. Matt McGuire has represented Irmo accident victims since 1993, recovering millions from insurance companies in Lexington County courts.

Three Decades Representing Accident Victims

Over 30 years recovering compensation for car accident victims throughout Irmo and Lexington County, from fender-benders to catastrophic injury cases requiring lifetime care.

Same-Day Investigation Response

We investigate accident scenes immediately—documenting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and preserving proof before it disappears. Time-sensitive action is critical.

Medical Network Access

Relationships with Lexington Medical Center, orthopedists, neurologists, and specialists ensure you receive necessary treatment while we coordinate medical liens.

Lexington County Court Knowledge

Familiar with Lexington County judges, procedures, and opposing counsel. This knowledge provides strategic advantages insurance companies recognize and respect.

Maximum Recovery Focus

We pursue every available source of compensation—at-fault driver insurance, underinsured motorist coverage, and all applicable policies—maximizing your recovery.

Damages Available & Recovery

  • Property damage including vehicle repair or total loss value

Immediate Post-Accident Action Steps

What you do immediately after an Irmo accident significantly impacts your ability to recover fair compensation.

Call 911 Immediately

Ensure Lexington County Sheriff's Office responds and creates an official accident report documenting fault and circumstances.

Seek Emergency Treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about car accident claims in Irmo.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim?

South Carolina law provides three years from the accident date to file claims. However, evidence preservation requires immediate action—don't wait to contact an attorney.

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?

No. Insurance adjusters use your statements against you. Matt McGuire handles all communications, protecting you from tactics that destroy claims.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

South Carolina's modified comparative negligence allows recovery if you're less than 51% at fault, reduced by your percentage of fault. We fight to minimize attributed fault.

How much is my car accident case worth?

Value depends on injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, and permanence. We provide honest case evaluations after reviewing all facts and medical records.

What if the at-fault driver has no insurance?

Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may apply. We investigate all available coverage sources to maximize recovery.

How long do car accident cases take?

Straightforward cases may settle in 6-12 months. Catastrophic injury cases requiring maximum recovery can take 18-36 months or longer.

Do I need a lawyer for a car accident?

Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers. You deserve experienced representation fighting for your interests and ensuring fair compensation.

What if my injuries appeared days after the accident?

Delayed injury symptoms are common. Document when symptoms appeared, seek medical care immediately, and contact us—delayed injuries don't prevent recovery.
