Illustrative ranges are national, per claim type — not a prediction for any individual case. See how comparable outcomes are chosen and the full methodology. Filing deadlines are the general rule per South Carolina statute — tolling, discovery-rule exceptions, and government-notice periods can shorten or extend the real deadline for your facts. Only a licensed attorney can confirm your actual filing deadline.
