Why You Need a Myrtle Beach Car Accident Lawyer on Your Side
After a car crash, the bills pile up fast—emergency room visits, follow-up care, car repairs, time off work.

Meanwhile, the insurance companies are already working hard to minimize what they pay you.

Don’t go it alone. Having an experienced car accident attorney by your side can be the difference between a denied claim and a full financial recovery.

Meet Attorney Jeff Chandler: Local, Proven, and On Your Side

With over two decades of legal experience in auto accidents, car crashes, and truck wrecks, Jeff Chandler is a trusted advocate for auto accident victims in Myrtle Beach. However, what truly sets him apart is his background, empathy, and values.

Jeff grew up in South Carolina. His parents were both educators in the Horry County School District. 

His grandparents were farmers and steelworkers. Before law school, Jeff worked in farming, construction, food service, and even oceanfront lifeguarding. 

He’s also dealt with chronic pain and underwent back surgery himself—so he knows what it’s like to be injured and frustrated.

When Jeff says he understands what you’re going through, he means it.

Common Injuries After a Car Crash

In the aftermath of a crash, many injuries aren’t immediately visible. It’s common for adrenaline to mask pain, which is why it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately.

Common injuries we see include:

  • Whiplash and soft tissue damage
  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Spinal cord injuries and herniated discs
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • PTSD and emotional trauma
Even “minor” injuries can become chronic without proper care. Don’t downplay your pain—and don’t let the insurance company decide what your injury is worth.

Right leaf FAQS Left leaf
Do I have to call the police after a crash in SC?
Yes. South Carolina law requires reporting crashes involving injuries, death, or property damage over $1,000. Always get a police report—it’s key to your claim.
How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit?
South Carolina’s statute of limitations is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. If a government vehicle was involved, you may have even less time.
What if the other driver was uninsured or fled the scene?
You can file a claim with your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Jeff can help you navigate this process and maximize your recovery.
Do I need to go to court?
Not always. Many cases are settled through negotiations, but if the insurance company won’t play fair, Jeff is fully prepared to take your case to trial.
How much does it cost to hire a car accident attorney?

Nothing upfront. Jeff works on a contingency fee, meaning you pay nothing unless he wins your case.
