Firm Information
Overview
We at Derrick Law Firm Injury Lawyers bring 35 years of seasoned legal knowledge and strong advocacy to Columbia, South Carolina. Founded in 1991 by attorney Dirk J. Derrick, our firm protects the rights of individuals and families who have suffered due to the negligence of others. Our practice is built on a foundation of responsiveness, empathy and meticulous preparation.
We concentrate our efforts on personal injury and wrongful death matters, handling everything from initial negotiations to complex courtroom trials. Our legal team represents victims of severe traffic mishaps, including automobile collisions, motorcycle accidents and tractor-trailer truck crashes. Our aquatic practice covers boat and jet ski accidents, while our workplace division assists employees navigating the complexities of workers' compensation.
Furthermore, we are heavily invested in securing justice for victims of catastrophic harm, specifically those dealing with traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. We also stand up against institutional mistreatment, taking on cases of nursing home neglect and abuse, and aggressively challenge insurance companies that issue delayed or denied insurance claims.
This comprehensive approach has led to exceptional results, including a $7 million premises liability claim settlement and a $1,050,000 recovery in a motorcycle accident case. It has also earned our firm more than 5,000 five-star reviews from our clients, peers and neighbors.
At the Columbia office, every case receives the full attention of a dedicated legal team. By tailoring our litigation strategies to the exact goals and circumstances of each client, we at Derrick Law Firm Injury Lawyers remain focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for our local community.
