A South Carolina Claim for Property Damage is a legal process by which a person or organization can seek financial compensation for damage to their property. This type of claim is typically brought against an individual or business that is responsible for causing the damage. The claimant must prove that the responsible party was negligent or careless in their actions, and that the damage would not have occurred without their negligence. There are two types of claims which may be pursued in South Carolina: negligence claims and strict liability claims. Negligence claims involve proving that the responsible party was negligent in their actions, while strict liability claims involve proving that the responsible party was liable regardless of fault. In either case, the claimant must provide evidence of the extent of the damage and prove that the responsible party was the cause. The claimant may also be able to seek punitive damages in some cases.
