Recent Results

Recent Personal Injury Settlements

The Mike Kelly Law Group, with offices in Columbia, Myrtle Beach, and Winnsboro, SC, handle immigration, personal injury, Social Security disability and workers compensation law. Our attorneys are recognized as client advocates who win favorable verdicts and high-value settlements, as these recent cases demonstrate.

Medical Malpractice Verdicts and Settlements

We negotiated a $425,000 settlement for a once-active, older client who now has some degree of paralysis due to incorrect medical treatment. Our client was never warned about injecting a newly prescribed medicine before a scheduled surgery to relieve pain from an old injury. Nor did the staff at the hospital where the surgery was performed ask if she had taken any medication earlier that day or perform a blood test that would have revealed the drug's presence. More information on this medical malpractice case can be found here.

Personal Injury Settlements and Verdicts

We won a $250,000 settlement for a Kentucky woman who was injured while vacationing in Myrtle Beach, SC. Shortly after arriving, she was sitting by the pool when a piece of roof debris, falling from five stories above, crushed her foot and ankle. Although no amount of money can replace the mobility that she lost or compensate for her pain and suffering, we were able to settle her case just before the lawsuit went to trial. More information on this personal injury case can be found here.

Legal Malpractice Settlements and Verdicts

Our client was a South Carolina woman who suffered debilitating ankle injuries from a motor vehicle accident. We settled for $250,000 against the client's original attorney in a legal malpractice claim based upon the attorney's failure to act in a timely manner – a mistake that prevented our client from recovering damages from the at-fault driver. More information on this legal malpractice case can be found here.

Social Security Disability / Workers Compensation Settlements

One of our clients, unable to work for more than three years, was denied Social Security disability benefits. During those years, she had lost everything and was living in various shelters. We were granted an expedited hearing on her behalf, a rare occurrence in itself, in which she was found to be disabled and entitled to benefits.

 

In another instance, our client was a former long distance truck driver who waited six years after he became unable to work before applying for disability benefits. By the time he contacted us, his savings were gone. He was doubtful that he would ever receive any benefits based on the horror stories he had heard from other claimants who had been denied. After we helped him navigate an unfamiliar and somewhat threatening system, he was awarded benefits during the actual hearing. That almost never happens.

Case Management Strategies and Summaries

Our experienced staff has successfully handled many personal injury, immigration, Social Security disability and workers compensation cases. We offer each of our clients a proven and efficient case management strategy as well as a legal team that includes an attorney, a paralegal, and an administrative assistant, all of whom are familiar with the facts of each client's case. Our clients and their goals are our top priority.
