When an auto accident happens unexpectedly, anyone can become a victim. One moment you're commuting back home after a long day at the office. The next, your car is totaled, and you're injured in the hospital due to another person's negligence. It's not fair, but it happens every day. Unlike the irresponsible party who caused the accident, personal injury victims often suffer the most in auto accidents. They have to worry about lost days at work, the long road to recovery, and the inability to provide for their family. Sadly, many people injured in car accidents don't have the luxury of worrying about bills because they're fighting for life in the emergency room.
And while modern cars come equipped with safety features like blind spot monitoring and cross-traffic alerts, motor vehicle accidents are still a huge problem in South Carolina. According to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, in 2020, one person was injured every 11 minutes in a car collision. Even worse, one fatal collision was recorded every 9.1 hours.
Unfortunately, victims of auto accident negligence often don't know what to do when another driver hits them. They have questions like:
These same innocent people provide official statements to insurance agencies without knowing the consequences.
However, if you or your loved ones are victims in a car crash, there's good news. Laws in South Carolina mandate that guilty parties must compensate for pain and suffering. But in order to get the compensation you deserve, it's crucial to work with a personal injury attorney in Aiken, SC. Experienced personal injury lawyers know how to bolster your case by securing witnesses for questioning, obtaining accident scene information, and documenting vehicle damage. If these tasks aren't completed quickly, you are far less likely to receive the compensation you and your family deserve.
Theos Law Firm exists to fight for your rights and to ensure negligent drivers are held responsible for the damage they do to your family. It's really that simple. We aren't afraid to trade blows with selfish insurance agencies. Because, unlike Theos Law Firm, they couldn't care less about your best interests.
Here are just a few reasons why so many hardworking people choose Theos Law Firm:
When you're involved in a car or truck accident, it can be a life-changing event. Having represented hundreds of personal injury victims, we understand that you may be confused and frightened. You know you need to speak with a lawyer, but you need a calm, cool presence to ease your anxiety. You need someone who understands what you're enduring, and we know how you feel.

With that said, we understand that there is no "common" type of accident or scenario - no two accidents are the same. We have represented clients involved in DUI accidents, truck rollovers, reckless drivers, interstate pileups, rear-end collisions, and even Uber driver crashes. With such extensive experience, our team has the tools and talent to take care of you, regardless of how complicated your case might be.
The recovery process involved with automobile accidents changes with every person we represent. There are dozens of details to account for, from car repairs to insurance questions and everything in between. These small but necessary details aren't easy to accomplish for injured parties. That's why our team goes the extra mile to help cut through the red tape to ensure your medical bills are paid, and your car gets fixed. The less weight you have on your shoulders to worry about, the faster you can focus on recovering.
Unlike other personal injury law firms, our team is 100% committed to protecting your rights, and we're uniquely positioned to do so with decades of combined experience. We offer robust representation for many types of auto accidents, including:
If you have been the victim of an accident listed above, please understand that time is of the essence. There is limited time to seek compensation for your injuries, hospital bills, lost wages, and more. As such, there is only a short time to obtain experienced representation for your personal injury case.
Our team knows that finding the right attorney to represent you is an important choice. Therefore, we believe that an initial consultation is imperative to understand your needs and identify your goals fully. When we sit down with you to learn the nuances of your accident, we'll cover all aspects of South Carolina law pertaining to your case. That way, you're armed with information and have an idea of the next steps our firm will take to represent you.
Remember - the sooner we can dig into the details of your case, the sooner we can pursue your rightful compensation. As seasoned personal injury attorneys, our team specializes in several types of automobile accidents:
Car accidents are a serious problem in South Carolina. If you're an adult, you probably know someone involved in a bad car crash in our state. When you look at the stats, it seems like car accidents are always on the rise. One person was killed every 8.2 hours in a car collision. Even more sobering is that one teen driver is involved in a fatal or injury-causing collision every 1.6 hours. The unfortunate truth is that many people involved in car crashes were hurt due to the other driver's negligence.
Common car crash injuries in South Carolina include:
Car accident victims in South Carolina are often left to pay their medical bills but can't do so because they're too hurt to go to work or take their car in for repair. These life-changing scenarios can snowball into a series of scary events, leaving victims hopeless and unsure where to turn.
Fortunately, a car accident attorney in Aiken, SC can help you avoid these pitfalls and obtain the money you need to survive. At Theos Law Firm, our team has a deep understanding of the rules that dictate fault in South Carolina. We know that thorough representation is needed to receive maximum compensation, and we're well-prepared to achieve that goal for you.
Our car accident lawyers in South Carolina can recover compensation for injuries and damages:
The moments following the crash are often a blur when you're involved in a car accident. However, per South Carolina law, those on the scene must adhere to legal responsibilities and obligations.
First, try to stop your car and ensure it is positioned safely near the scene of the crash. Then, call 911 to report the accident. While most folks go into full-blown panic mode, you need to stay calm so you can process the situation. If you notice that there are injured people, give them "reasonable assistance." Per South Carolina Code of Laws, that could include transporting hurt people to a hospital or calling an ambulance for them.
If you're in a car crash, you need to be prepared to exchange contact information with other drivers at the accident scene. If the person who caused the collision is present, make sure to get their name, phone number, address, and insurance info. If witnesses are present, get their contact info, too, in case our team needs to obtain their account later.
Next, try to piece together how the car crash happened. This is an appropriate time to take photos of the cars, wreckage, and debris. Ask yourself if you think a vehicle failed to follow the rules of the road, like speeding or failing to stop at a stop sign.
Regardless of how minor your injuries may appear and who may be to blame for the accident, get legal advice from Theos Law Firm first before giving any recorded statements or refusing medical care.
Tractor-trailer and semi-truck crashes are often more complicated than two car crashing. Because these cases are more complex and nuanced, it's imperative that you contact a truck accident attorney in Aiken, SC to help you through the recovery process and win the compensation you deserve.
After a semi-truck crash, you must take steps quickly to preserve evidence so that the crash may be recreated. In serious semi-truck accidents where people are injured or killed, trucking companies usually send a team of investigators to the accident site immediately. These investigators will do their best to obtain evidence that can hurt you in court or even attempt to hide or destroy evidence. The last thing a trucking company wants is for you to win a settlement against them.
That's especially true since various entities may be liable for your truck accident injury, not just the driver. The trucking company, the trucking manufacturer, and the team responsible for truck maintenance could also be responsible. Additionally, if dangerous or inadequate road conditions factor into your accident, you could actually sue some government departments. For those reasons, it's critical to retain quality representation ASAP after a truck accident in South Carolina.
At Theos Law Firm, our team has experience winning compensation in many types of truck accidents, such as:
As your truck accident lawyer in South Carolina, we work hard to fight for your rights and win your case. In order to do so, our team will:
We'll arrive on-scene to notate skid mark length and the locations of vehicles involved. We will also capture detailed pictures and measurements pertinent to your crash.
Obtaining the trucking company's records and discovering the info they have on the semi-truck driver involved is an important part of our process. We will also secure access to the trucker's driving log notes, which they must maintain according to law.
Like airplanes and helicopters, big rigs have a "black box" that records real-time truck data, like speeds, changes in direction, and brake application.
We'll arrive on-scene to notate skid mark length and the locations of vehicles involved. We will also capture detailed pictures and measurements pertinent to your crash.
Sometimes an expert is needed to digest all the evidence and provide an expert opinion on the cause of the semi-truck collision. When needed, our team will hire such an expert to ensure your case is robust and air-tight.
We will obtain the police's investigation report and any accident photos, measurements, or other documentation taken by officers while investigating your semi-truck crash.
It's imperative to find all the witnesses of your accident and interview them to get recorded statements in a timely manner. Doing otherwise may result in faded memories and inaccurate facts.
Time and again, auto accident victims agree to early settlements provided by insurance companies because the offer seems like a lot. But what if you return to work after recovering from an accident, only for your pain to return?
With adjusters, lawyers, and investigators at their disposal, insurance agencies will do everything in their power to minimize the compensation you deserve. Don't let them pick on you or silence your voice. If you or a loved are victims of a negligent car or truck accident in South Carolina, contact Theos Law Firm today. We have the team, tools, and experience to fight back on your behalf, no matter how complicated your case may seem.

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - The Fairfield Street Bridge, once a treasured crossing connecting Aiken’s historic district to the downtown district, has stayed closed for nearly a decade.
Last year, SCDOT said it and the Union Street Bridge would not reopen after failing inspections.
Since then, it’s sat in the same state - disrepair.
Now, Aiken city leaders are working on a plan to restore the Fairfield Street Bridge after a meeting last week.
We sat down with the assistant city manager of Aiken about what’s next for the bridge.
Something neighbors in Aiken have been driving past since 2016, road closed. But the city says the barricades could finally be coming down.
Brandon Wilde celebrates resiliency after Hurricane Helene
On Friday, Brandon Wilde celebrated the river region’s ability to stand strong despite what we went through with Helene.
A bridge that definitely whispers stories of the past, “The work on the Fairfield Sreet Bridge has been a long time coming,” said Lex Kirkland, Aiken assistant city manager.
And promises of the future, “I want to see opportunities to go from our community back over the railroad tracks to downtown without having to go all the way around,” said Jerry Lang, who lives in Aiken.
For the Fairfield Street Bridge, time has stood still.
“The South Carolina Department of Transportation closed the Fairfield Street Bridge in February of 2016,” said Kirkland.
The bridge is more than 100 years old and it was starting to show it’s age.
“It’s just it’s too old and probably too weak for auto traffic any longer. That’s probably why they closed it down,” said Lang.
But the city says they’re laying the groundwork for connection.
Army looks to drastically cut its size, according to reports
The Army – a major employer in the CSRA, thanks to Fort Eisenhower – is looking at thinning its ranks by tens of thousands of troops, according to industry news reports.
“The city has been able, in the last year or so, to have that bridge transferred to us so that some action can be taken on it. We’re working towards potentially demolishing the bridge and hopefully rebuilding a bridge in its place,” said Kirkland.
Jerry Lang lives near the bridge. He says it’s time for a fix.
“It’s it is an eyesore. There’s no doubt about it,” said Lang.
And he hopes the plans go through.
“Whether it’s in my golf cart, my E-bike, or my car, it’s just easier to commute,” said Lang.
To him, it isn’t just a way over, but a way forward.
Piedmont Augusta raises flag in honor of organ donars, recipients
April is National Donate Life Month and Piedmont Augusta is honoring it with a flag-raising ceremony.
“It sent a lot more traffic down Marion Street, where we live. So, that’s one of the things too. I’d like to see a little bit less traffic on our street by opening one of the bridges up. And I know it’s going to take a while, but they did York. Fairfield should be next,” said Lang.
The city says when they took over the bridge last year, with that came nearly $1 million from SCDOT.
And the city says they budgeted about $3 million out of plutonium funds.
With those funds, they hope to tear down the bridge and rebuild it.
Hoping to connect Aiken’s historic district to downtown all while making sure to preserve Aiken’s charm.
“York Street Bridge looks similar to the existing Fairfield Street Bridge and Union Street bridges, not identical but similar. So, I think if you looked at those three bridges, you wouldn’t necessarily know that York Street Bridge is almost brand new. So, we definitely want to have the historic look and the charm that goes along with that. And, if we were to move forward with how the plan currently stands, that’s exactly what it would look like,” said Kirkland.

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) -The CSRA has a rich golf history, its roots grow deeper with time.
50 years ago, the first Southern Cross was played.
And while the wrinkles usually start to show, this tournament hasn’t had a need for an iron.
Maybe just the ones you can find in your golf bag.
Fort Jackson identifies soldier found dead during training
Fort Jackson announced that a basic combat training soldier from Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment, was found dead.
“When people ask me about the Southern Cross, I always refer to it as kind of like the Masters of high school golf, said Tommy DeGennaro, South Aiken head golf coach.
The tournament invites the best high school golfers around the Palmetto State, expanding even into Georgia.
“When we go to tournaments with South Aiken and other places, everybody asks me, ‘Hey, what do we got to do to get into this tournament? Can you, do you have any sway to get us in?’ ‘I’m saying, Oh, we got to apply just like you do.’ It’s one of those everybody wants to get into and play. I think that’s what makes it last so long,” said DeGennaro.
Because those who usually win tend to be a household name.
“If you take a look at the individual trophy, the names, Kevin Kisner, Jonathan Byrd, Wesley Bryan, just the kids that have won this thing over the years and have won it multiple times, and the things they go on to do. This golf tournament is a testament to the strength of South Carolina junior golf. It always has been, and it feels like the field gets better and better every year,” said Chairman Ryan Orr.
Students at local childcare center celebrate their longtime cook
As a part of School Hero Lunch Day, students at a local childcare center are honoring their cook, who has worked there for 35 years.
The tournament is 36 holes over two days. South Aiken, Aiken, North Augusta and Mead Hall all have golfers in the mix.
The last time an area team won was South Aiken in 2013, it was their sixth time winning the event. The T-breds also took home the last local individual champion, Jake Carter, in 2015 and 2016.
The 50th edition of the Southern Cross could mark a first. Jackson Byrd, son of 3-time Cross Champion Jonathan Byrd, is in the field. If he wins, it could mark the first time that a father-son duo has won the tournament.

It's estimated that 90,000 people will visit Augusta National Golf Club for the 89th edition of the Masters Tournament and its proximity to Aiken provides a unique opportunity for the city to show itself off to visitors.All of the Whiskey Road mid-level hotels, The Willcox, the Carriage House Inn, the area's AirBnBs and other rented properties are full for the tournament, City of Aiken Tourism Manager Eric Gordon said.Putting the city's best foot forward starts there, Gordon continued."We make sure that all our hote...
It's estimated that 90,000 people will visit Augusta National Golf Club for the 89th edition of the Masters Tournament and its proximity to Aiken provides a unique opportunity for the city to show itself off to visitors.
All of the Whiskey Road mid-level hotels, The Willcox, the Carriage House Inn, the area's AirBnBs and other rented properties are full for the tournament, City of Aiken Tourism Manager Eric Gordon said.
Putting the city's best foot forward starts there, Gordon continued.
"We make sure that all our hotels… have everything that they might need to answer questions and to give stuff out to clients that are here for the Masters," Gordon said. "The hotels take all this very seriously because they know it's good business also."
Many of the city's restaurants post signs to encourage Masters patrons to stop in, Gordon continued. And there are several events scheduled for downtown, he added.
The events include the Aiken Art Walk (scheduled for April 8) and a concert series extending from April 7 to April 11.
"That's really going to open up our downtown to people that are in the area," Gordon said. "We want them to come here to have fun [to see that] Aiken's a fun place."
The city's visitor's center extends its hours and more trolley tours are available, Gordon added.
City staff also work to make sure the city looks good, too, Assistant City Manager Lex Kirkland said.
The effort starts with the entry ways likely to be used by visitors traveling to and from Augusta (Richland Avenue, Laurens Street) and Whiskey Road, Kirkland continued.
"Extra pressure washing downtown in The Alley and in Bee Lane and places like that are things that we do in advance of a Masters Week," Kirkland said. "We did a big clean up on Richland Avenue West on the first parkways kind of coming into the city in the last month."
The city staff also install fresh mulch, he added. These efforts are also part of the city's effort to transition to the growing season of spring, Kirkland continued.

In my 14 trips to The Masters, I’ve stayed at all kinds of places, but none has been as quaint as this nifty little bungalow attached to a garage in Aiken, South Carolina. It sits on the land for a future retirement home of a good friend, Wayne Talsky, whose sons I have taught the game of a lifetime to for many years.
The morning drive from Aiken to Augusta National takes about 30 minutes, depending on traffic. But that half-hour journey feels like traveling between two different worlds. Augusta, with its bustling tournament atmosphere, gives way to Aiken’s genteel Southern charm – a place where horse-drawn carriages still clip-clop down oak-lined streets, and locals greet you with genuine warmth that feels increasingly rare in our hurried world.
“Aiken is a town; thus, it retains all the charm and warm, neighborly vibes,” Wayne tells me as we chat back in Orlando before my trip. It has that unique Southern charm and character. Basically, it’s the folks that make it special.”
He’s right. While Augusta becomes the center of the golf universe for one glorious week each April, Aiken maintains its unhurried pace, offering Masters patrons a peaceful retreat from the tournament crowds. The town’s rich history as a winter colony for wealthy Northerners in the late 19th century has left it with stunning architecture, manicured gardens, and a deep appreciation for equestrian pursuits that rivals its love for golf.
Hopelands Gardens exemplifies this heritage with its 14 acres of meandering paths, ancient oaks, and a serene labyrinth tucked away for quiet reflection. Walking these grounds, you’d never know you’re just miles from one of sport’s most electrifying events. The contrast is part of what makes an Aiken-based Masters experience so special.
Downtown Aiken centers around The Alley, a charming pedestrian area that comes alive during tournament week. “If you are in town for the week, I would visit The Alley, located in downtown Aiken,” Wayne suggests. “The area hosts incredible eateries and a few fantastic local watering holes.”
The Alley Downtown Taproom offers 48 taps of craft beer, cider, wine, and more, with a pay-by-the-ounce system that allows you to sample widely. Nearby restaurants deliver food directly to your table, creating a communal atmosphere where golf stories flow as freely as the beverages.
For those seeking more refined accommodations, The Willcox stands as Aiken’s crown jewel. “I highly suggest getting a cocktail or dinner at The Willcox, the only 5-star hotel in the area,” Wayne says. “The main lounge/bar is one of the swankiest hangs in Aiken!”
This historic hotel has hosted presidents and celebrities since 1898. Its white-columned facade and rocking chair-lined porch embody Southern hospitality at its finest. During Masters week, you might find yourself sharing the lobby with golf royalty, seeking refuge from Augusta’s spotlight.
Of course, many visitors can’t resist playing a round themselves while in the area. “In terms of golf, obviously, after walking the grounds of ANGC, most courses can’t compare,” Wayne acknowledges. “The choices for golf in and around Aiken and Augusta are still fantastic.”
For those with connections, the private options are exceptional. Palmetto Golf Club, designed by Alister MacKenzie (who also designed Augusta National), offers a glimpse into golf’s golden age with its strategic bunkering and subtle greens. Sage Valley provides a modern masterpiece with Augusta-like conditions, while Augusta Country Club sits literally adjacent to Augusta National, sharing a property line with its famous neighbor.
Two newer additions to the private scene have golf aficionados buzzing: Tree Farm and Old Barnwell. Both showcase contemporary minimalist design that works with the natural sandhill terrain rather than against it.
For public access, Wayne recommends Aiken Golf Club, a historic gem dating to 1912 that underwent a loving restoration. Mount Vintage and Cedar Creek offer solid alternatives with distinctive layouts that showcase the region’s rolling topography.
The future looks bright for golf in the area as well. “There are also some cool soon-to-come offerings,” Wayne mentions, “including The 21 Club and a resort to be built in SC on the Savannah River designed by Tom Watson.” The latter, known as Cypress Shoals, sits just 4.5 miles from Augusta National and promises to be another jewel in the region’s golfing crown.
For those enchanted by Aiken’s blend of sporting heritage and small-town charm, the real estate market offers everything from historic downtown cottages to sprawling horse properties. Danny Minolfo at ERA Wilder Realty specializes in helping newcomers find their piece of this unique community.
As another Masters week is now here, I look forward not just to the roars at Amen Corner but also to the quiet evenings in Aiken, where the pace slows, the tea is sweet, and the hospitality is genuine. In a world of increasing homogeneity, this corner of South Carolina remains refreshingly, defiantly itself – the perfect complement to its more famous neighbor to the south.
