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.

Fire crews are battling am estimated 100-acre fire outside Conway while northeastern South Carolina faces a fire danger.

What started as a 3-acre fire grew exponentially in several hours, according to Horry County Fire Rescue.

Horry County Fire Rescue has been working to control two fires since about 12:30 p.m. Thursday, according to social media posts from the agency. There is a 20-acre fire near Linhurst Road and S.C. 746 in Loris and a 100-acre fire along Dirty Branch Road in Conway.

Several residents were asked to evacuate although there is no threat to nearby residences, Horry County Fire Rescue said.

It’s unclear what started either fire. The Loris fire is not threatening structures.

The National Weather Service put Horry County under a fire danger statement until 8 p.m. on Thursday. This means conditions are favorable for uncontrollable fires but not severe enough to issue a watch or warning, said Mark Bacon, a National Weather Service meteorologist.

“These conditions can lead to erratic fire behavior, where fires tend to run and get out of control,” Bacon said.

Gusty winds and low humidity led to the fire danger statement, according to Bacon. There’s a chance of showers in the evening, which will end the threat of fire, but conditions could worsen again Saturday.

As a result of the fire danger statement, Conway, unincorporated Horry County and Georgetown County are under a burn ban, according to social media posts and public information officer June Wood. Georgetown and Horry counties banned all fires while Conway banned yard, ditch, field fires and bonfires. Fire pits, chimineas and portable fireplaces are allowed in Conway.

Earlier this week there was a 5-acre fire along the 1000 block of Star Bluff Road in the Longs community area.

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources also is performing controlled burns along International Drive, which has closed the road, The Sun News reported.

CONWAY, S.C. (WMBF) - As the battle to fight the wildfires in Southern California continues, we are getting a clear picture of what has been left behind.

Cotton GDS in Conway, is joining parent company Cotton Holdings, Inc. based in Houston Texas, in collecting items for the fire victims.

“Cotton is asking the community to come together, look through their closets, spend just a few minutes and part with something that they think that they can let go,” said Zinat Ahmed, executive vice president of Cotton Holdings, Inc.

The effects of the fires will no doubt be felt in the months and years to come as people rebuild where entire neighborhoods have been leveled.

This is one of the reasons why the company wants to help.

“They are our neighbors in California who need these pieces a little bit more than us right now. It just takes a few minutes to go to your closet, pick out a couple of things, get in your car, and drop them off in our Conway location. From there we’re gonna make sure it gets to the right folks in California who need them,” said Ahmed.

Cotton Global Disaster Solutions was founded in 1996 and is the restoration arm of Cotton Holdings, a leading infrastructure support services company providing solutions such as property restoration and recovery.

Representatives are on the ground in the hardest hit areas of Los Angeles assessing the current needs of those involved.

“Our goal is to get out as many pieces of clothing to the women and children. Everyone in every county possible. We have boots on the ground right now doing assessments, but we’re also getting feedback for those who need us,” said Ahmed.

Two crates sit outside the main entrance door at the Conway location and are able to take all donations.

They are looking for slightly used clothing, hygiene products, diapers, children’s clothing, new underwear and even toys for the smallest victims.

The crates will be out front until Wednesday at 5 p.m. At that point, all collected items will be sent to Houston, where they will be sorted, loaded on semi trucks and hauled to Los Angeles for distribution.

Teams will evaluate needs from there and could consider other collection drives in the future.

Cotton GDS is located at 2939 Highway 65, Bldg. #2, Conway, SC 29526.
