Car accidents are an unfortunate fact of life. In the most recent year for which statistics are available, the Federal Highway Administration reports 2,842,553 licensed drivers in South Carolina alone and a total of 95,796,069 in the U.S. Not all drivers operate their vehicles with reasonable care to avoid causing harm to others.
According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), motorcyclists are much more likely than passenger vehicle occupants to suffer serious or fatal injuries in a crash. In fact, per vehicle miles driven, the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) reports that traffic crash fatality rates for motorcycles are 28 times higher than for passenger vehicles.
Our elderly loved ones deserve to live in a safe, comfortable environment where they are well cared for and treated with courtesy and respect. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA), in a single recent year, Ombudsman programs received 14,258 complaints involving gross neglect, abuse, or exploitation in nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

My lawyer was very efficient and attentive when it came to the outlooks of me. The first time I ever dealt with a law firm for an accident and my case was handled well and done in a breeze. Everyone there are very professional and have great personalities although ms. Leah and attorney Ryan were my favorite.

The Melonakos law firm is great. Michael is the absolute best. He actually takes the time to ask how I’m doing and about any plans I have. He’s very family oriented and shares about how he is doing personally as well. My case was quite lengthy due to the other insurance company being so difficult but the law firm stood by me and the associates Ryan and Leah were great as well. I would recommend them to anyone that needs a sc injury lawyer.

Highly recommend. I was in a car accident back in February with 5 other vehicles and the at fault insurance was very difficult (understatement) to deal with, Mike and his team were amazing at getting me help, medical and a great settlement to replace my vehicle. Very responsive and informative if I ever had a question. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Our experience with Mike Melonakos and staff during a difficult time have been very positive. He guided us through the process of litigation with patience and understanding. He gave us his professional advise and council but always honored our wishes. On behalf of myself and family I would recommend his law firm to those in search of legal services.
Sincerely,
