Firm Information
Overview
Since 1991, we at Derrick Law Firm Injury Lawyers have fought for the rights of the injured. Operating in Charleston, South Carolina, we provide aggressive advocacy and compassionate guidance under the leadership of our founder, attorney Dirk J. Derrick. With 35 years of legal experience, our firm helps families navigate the aftermath of devastating accidents.
Our proven track record speaks to our dedication. Notable case results include a $2 million recovery in a nursing home abuse case and a $1 million settlement for a premises liability case. This commitment to securing justice has earned our practice more than 5,000 five-star reviews from clients, legal peers and the local community.
Our legal team concentrates exclusively on personal injury and wrongful death litigation. We routinely manage complex accident claims involving automobiles, motorcycles, and tractor-trailers, as well as boat and jet ski accidents. Additionally, we champion the rights of vulnerable individuals suffering from nursing home neglect and abuse, and represent those adjusting to catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain trauma and spinal cord damage.
Recognizing that legal battles extend beyond physical injuries, we also represent workers seeking workers’ compensation benefits and assist policyholders facing delayed or denied insurance claims. Whether negotiating a settlement out of court or litigating a complex case before a jury, we approach every matter with meticulous preparation and a tailored strategy.
At Derrick Law Firm Injury Lawyers, client success is our top priority. We structure our advocacy around the unique goals and circumstances of each individual. By combining extensive legal knowledge with personal attention, we proudly serve our clients from our Charleston office with dedication, determination and a commitment to results.
