How our veteran South Carolina trial team steps in, shields your family from insurance adjusters, and fights for the full financial valuation of your loss.
100% Free Consultation | Licensed to Practice Throughout the Entire State of South Carolina
Losing a spouse, parent, or child due to someone else’s reckless actions creates unimaginable grief and immediate financial uncertainty. While your family focuses on mourning and honoring your loved one, corporate insurance adjusters and defense legal teams deploy immediately.
Within days of a fatal collision or industrial accident, corporate representatives often reach out with a gentle, polite tone, offering early settlement payments. Do not sign legal releases or give recorded statements without an attorney.
Corporate insurance companies do not offer fast payments out of goodwill. They do so when they recognize major liability and want to lock your family into an early legal release under the South Carolina Wrongful Death Act before you understand the true, lifetime financial impact of your loss.
At Koon Cook & Walters, we insulate grieving families from corporate harassment immediately. Located at 2016 Gadsden Street in Downtown Columbia, our veteran trial attorneys take over all communications, conduct an independent investigation, and build an uncompromised case for court.

Under S.C. Code Ann. § 15-51-20, recovered damages are distributed to the statutory beneficiaries: the surviving spouse and biological/adopted children. If there is no spouse or child, damages are awarded to the surviving parents.
A Wrongful Death claim compensates the surviving family members for their economic losses, loss of companionship, and mental grief. A Survival Action (S.C. Code Ann. § 15-5-90) allows the estate to recover compensation for the conscious pain, suffering, and medical expenses experienced by the decedent between the moment of injury and passing.
Nothing out-of-pocket. We operate on a contingency fee model (our No-Fee Guarantee). You pay zero legal fees or upfront expenses unless we successfully recover compensation for your family.
Under S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530, the statute of limitations is generally 3 years from the date of passing. However, physical evidence, truck telemetry, and witness memories fade quickly, making immediate action essential.
Take control of your claim today with an experienced trial legal shield in your corner.
