Our law firm knows that accidents can happen anywhere, at any time. No one wants to have a personal injury case anymore than they want to visit an emergency room. Nonetheless, when bad things happen to good people, we are here to help. Be it a car crash, on the job injury, or fatal accident, I have been helping families in their pursuit of justice since my first day in practice.
I am proud to call myself a plaintiff’s attorney, and have dedicated my legal career to representing clients in the following key areas:
Auto Accidents
When you're in a car wreck in Columbia, South Carolina, you should consider speaking with an attorney who will put your interests first and defend your rights vigorously. Kenneth Berger is an auto accident lawyer who works hard to help victims of all types of crashes, including those involving motorcycles, trucks, ATVs, bicycles and pedestrians.
Boating Accidents
Whether you’re on a pleasure cruise, water-skiing across the waves, or just out fishing on a beautiful day, being on the water is a great feeling. But when safety isn’t taken seriously, boating accidents can have truly tragic consequences—especially when a combination of alcohol, carelessness, or negligence is involved. If you get hurt on or in the water due to the actions of someone else, you’re going to need a legal professional who has experience with boating accidents to help you figure out what your legal options are.
When you need help with your boating accident claim, we’re here to protect your legal right to seek compensation for your medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and more. We proudly serve victims of boating accidents across the entire state of South Carolina, including Columbia, Lexington, and Orangeburg. Call us today for a free case evaluation, or use our online contact form and a member of our legal team will reach out to you.
Drunk Driving Accidents
South Carolina DUI accident laws are designed to hold all responsible parties for the damage drunk drivers cause on our roads. If you have been injured in a DUI wreck, consult with a drunk driving accident lawyer that will protect your legal rights and allow you to focus on healing.
Medical Malpractice
South Carolina healthcare teams must be held accountable for their actions when treating a patient. There is no tolerance for negligence, especially in the medical field. Errors on the part of hospitals and doctors can result in serious injury or death. When in doubt, schedule a free case evaluation with a Columbia malpractice lawyer, and allow him/her to uncover the truth.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycles are a deep and long-lasting part of American heritage on the road, but a motorcycle accident can be devastating to riders and their families. Contrary to popular belief, the negligence of other drivers causes far more accidents than unsafe riders. All it takes is one wrong turn of the wheel to change the life of a motorcyclist forever.
At the Law Office of Kenneth E. Berger, we know how a tragic motorcycle accident can shatter your entire world, leaving you physically injured for life and financially crushed under the weight of medical bills and other expenses related to the accident. We work hard to help victims of negligence on the road recover their lives financially so that they can get back to living their lives after a tragedy. For more information, or to talk to a professional about your situation, call our Columbia office today at 803-790-2800.
Personal Injury
South Carolina’s personal injury laws are designed to place you back in the position you enjoyed prior to being hurt. If you have been seriously injured due to someone else’s wrongdoing, you may recover damages (i.e. money) for medical expenses, lost wages, mental anguish, lost enjoyment of life, future expenses, and a number of other losses.
Traumatic Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) has a dreadful way of changing lives. While your family and friends struggle to understand your condition, you wake up every day and deal with things like headaches, memory loss, mood swings, and even seizures that just won't go away. Let the Law Office of Kenneth Berger stand up to the negligent party who caused your injury and help you get the compensation necessary to move forward with your life.
Truck Accidents
People injured in truck accidents often have to deal with mounting medical bills, lost wages, aggressive insurance adjusters who are trying their best to limit the size of the accident settlement. It can be stressful to juggle all of this while dealing with severe injuries. Our South Carolina truck accident lawyers are here to remove some of that burden, so you can focus on healing while they handle everything else.
Workers' Compensation
Is the South Carolina workers' compensation system frustrating you? Are you afraid you're not getting the full amount you're entitled to? Are you worried you're going to get fired for filing a claim? Kenneth Berger is a Columbia workers' compensation attorney dedicated to properly handling your claim so that you can concentrate less on insurance questions—and more on getting better.
Wrongful Death
There are a number of reasons why you may file a wrongful death claim. The legal process is often the best way to get clear answers about the causes of your loved one’s death. Your family might also need financial support through this difficult time.
