With its sweeping roads and picturesque landscapes, South Carolina may seem like the perfect place for a leisurely drive. However, beneath the idyllic surface lies a troubling reality – the state is one of the deadliest in the nation for car accidents. For the past 25 years, its mileage death rate has consistently surpassed the national average, making it a treacherous place for drivers and passengers alike.
Driver Stats in South Carolina
According to recent data from the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, a traffic accident occurs every 3.7 minutes in the Palmetto State. In just under 10 hours, a fatal collision claims another life on South Carolina roads. The statistics only become more alarming when examining specific demographics and scenarios.
- Every 28 hours, someone loses their life in a drunk-driving wreck
- Teen drivers are involved in fatal or severe crashes every 1.3 hours
- Drivers without a seat belt die every 27.5 hours
- 1 pedestrian dies every 2.3 days
- Motorcyclists losing their life every 3.1 days
The most common contributing factor in these fatal collisions? Driver negligence.
Whether it’s distracted driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or simply ignoring signs and signals, it’s clear that many lives could be saved if drivers took more responsibility behind the wheel.
When an innocent person becomes a victim of such negligence and loses their life, certain family members can seek justice through a wrongful death claim. This process involves filing a claim with the deceased person’s estate through a personal representative – usually a spouse or someone else appointed as executor.

Eastover Information
Eastover, SC, The Town of Eastover develop from established Antebellum plantations in the Lower Richland County area. Plantations such as Goodwill, Bellaire, Hook-Elliott, and Singleton, which is now known as Kensington Plantation, were spared from General William T. Sherman’s torch at the end of the Civil War through the pleas of Singleton’s mother-in law who convinced a solider that she was living alone. The Kensington House stayed in Singleton’s hands until 1910 when it was sold to Robert Hamer of Dillion, South Carolina. He in turn sold it to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be used in a boil weevil experiment program. With the start of World War II, however, the government dropped the program and sold the Kensington House to the N.C. Lanhan family who sold it to Union Camp Corporation. The Kensington Plantation still exists today and has been restored. For almost a century, Kensington was a social center for southern belles, general farmers, and horseman. The house no longer stands in ghostly silence on acreage that once raised horses, cattle, and grew cotton; today Union Camp Corporation has built a six hundred- million-dollar paper mill and has restore the Kensington Plantation to the beautiful place it is today.
