Theos Law Firm: Rigorous Representation When You Need It Most

At Theos Law Firm, we 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.

GREENWOOD, S.C. —

The City of Greenwood says golf fans are taking advantage of its proximity to Augusta National and a wide range of local restaurants to make the most of their Masters week.

Wednesday was an unforgettable trip to Augusta National for Zach and Rob Hamrick. The duo were among the hundreds of Masters guests staying in Greenwood this week, just an hour's drive from Augusta.

"Everything's so expensive over there for the week. And, and Columbia still, you know, pretty stiff for the week," Rob says, "it is still about the same distance for us away as Columbia. So it works out good for us.

According to Kelly McWhorter with Discover Greenwood, tourists looking for a more affordable place to stay help drive in over a million dollars in economic impact each year.

"For the hospitality and lodging industry, it's one of our biggest weeks of the year," she says.

She says the city is using multiple strategies to attract golf fans, including an interactive scorecard that includes 18 local places people can visit, where they're given a special golf tee for stopping by. McWhorter also says that they're using location-specific ads.

"We are geofencing all of the cell phones that are coming in and out of Augusta National with our own digital advertising," she says.

Having so many visitors is a major leg up, especially after being rocked by Hurricane Helene.

"Your economy takes a significant hit from something like a natural disaster, and we're starting to wake up and become Greenwood again. And we're excited to have folks come through here and and see us in a really good light," McWhorter says.

Over at Inn on the Square, we're told they nearly sell out when the Masters crowd visits.

"A lot of these people end up staying here every year. So a lot of these faces actually are familiar faces to us, which is really nice," explains Joanna Gillespie with the hotel. She says, "This is kind of like home away from home for people. They can go somewhere and have fun and be close to the masters without feeling like they're stuck in traffic all day, every day."
