Theos Law Firm: Rigorous Representation When You Need It Most

We at the Theos Law Firm know that finding the right attorney to represent you is a choice not to be taken lightly.

What Should You Do After a Car Accident in South Carolina?

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.

CAMDEN, S.C. (WIS) ― In an effort to comply with updated Federal Aviation Administration guidelines, Kershaw County is proposing an airport overlay district ordinance on neighboring properties around the county airport. It would potentially prevent new barns, and horses, from being on equine properties that have been in the county for decades.

The details of the ordinance raise concerns for property owners. For years, even decades, the equine community said they’ve gotten along just fine being close to the county airport. That’s until the proposal to potentially sell some of their land was put on the table.

“We all want the pilots to be safe,” said Kershaw County resident Linda Franklin-Moore. “They’ve been safe for many years. But we don’t want government over reach into private property rights.”

Red Fox Road resident Alyssa Stahl-Fajardo said the rich equine history in the community spans most of her life.

“Since 1978. We bought the land and we built one house and one barn,” said Fajardo.

She and the rest of the community have been vocal at Kershaw County council meeting last week, worried that the family land may be lost on account of airport improvements.

Kershaw County’s Planning Commission is proposing the airport overlay district. Under the ordinance, barns and animals already in the area can stay, but any new building that falls into zones closest to the airports runway, would no longer be allowed.

The proposal would also include $22 million for lights, a plane hangar and runway improvements among others, but certain language in the proposed ordinance has Fajardo concerned she could lose her land.

“There’s an abandonment issue,” she said. “If you don’t have horses for about 12 months, then you will no longer be considered a horse farm. And that really concerns me because we don’t currently have horses right now.”

County Administrator Danny Templar said he is aware of the concerns of the residents, but insists the proposal is just a draft, and that amendments are expected.

“It would be like having a garage and but not having a car in it for a year and then saying you can’t have a car anymore. It doesn’t make sense and we are trying to work through those concerns,” said Templar.

The proposal will have to receive three readings in county council both sides hopeful to reach common ground.

“We want to strike that delicate balance where we achieve our objectives but we have the least amount of impact to our neighbors and citizens around the airport,” said Templar.

The first reading for the overlay district will be at the Kershaw County Council meeting on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the county government building in Camden. Community members can sign up to give public comment prior to the start of the council meeting.
