Who We Are

Trusted Neighbors.
Relentless Advocates.

Elrod Pope Accident & Injury Attorneys was founded in 1980 with a simple conviction: injured people in this community deserve the same caliber of legal firepower that insurance companies use against them. Over 45 years later, that conviction drives everything we do — from the way we answer the phone at midnight to the way we prepare for trial.

We don't measure success by the size of our firm. We measure it by the outcomes we achieve and the trust we've built, case by case, family by family, across South Carolina and North Carolina. With over $100 million recovered and a team whose combined experience spans 150+ years, we have the depth to handle the most complex injury cases — and the heart to handle them the right way.

Our attorneys live and raise their families in the same communities you do. When you come to us, you're not a file number. You're a neighbor who needs help — and we take that seriously.

Cases We Handle

Whatever brought you here, we've likely handled cases just like yours. Contact us to learn exactly how we can help.

Car Accident Claims

South Carolina's at-fault insurance system gives you the right to pursue full compensation from the responsible driver. Our Rock Hill car accident lawyers know how to maximize it.

Truck & Tractor-Trailer Accidents

Crashes with commercial trucks can be catastrophic — and the liable parties are complex. We pursue trucking companies, insurers, and their legal teams on your behalf.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face severe injuries and unfair bias from insurers. Our attorneys fight to overcome prejudice and recover the full damages you're owed.

Wrongful Death

When negligence costs a family member their life, we pursue every avenue for accountability — bringing compassionate, determined advocacy to the most devastating cases.

Workers' Compensation

A workplace injury may entitle you to workers' comp benefits and, in many situations, an additional third-party lawsuit for pain and suffering. We'll map out your best path forward.

Medical Malpractice

When a healthcare provider's error causes you harm, the path to compensation is complex. Our attorneys have the expertise to build and win high-stakes medical negligence claims.

Product Liability

If a defective product injured you, manufacturers and distributors can be held strictly liable. We investigate design flaws, manufacturing defects, and inadequate warnings to build your case.

Uber & Rideshare Accidents

Rideshare crashes involve layered insurance questions that most firms struggle to navigate. We cut through the complexity to pursue the compensation you deserve.

Premises Liability

Property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe. From slip and falls to inadequate security, we hold negligent owners accountable for the harm they cause.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

TBI cases demand deep legal and medical expertise to fully capture long-term costs and suffering. Our attorneys work with top experts to ensure nothing is left on the table.

Our Legal Team

Senior Counsel &
Partner Attorneys

Our attorneys don't just take your case — they take it personally. With a team whose combined experience spans 150+ years, we have the depth to take on the most complex cases and the courage to take them to trial when necessary.

We maintain a unique family culture within our firm. Every client is treated as a family member deserving our full attention, relentless advocacy, and honest communication — from the first call to final resolution.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

Studies show that injury victims represented by an attorney recover up to 3.5x more compensation than those who go it alone. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers and adjusters working to minimize your payout. You need an advocate who levels the playing field, handles all negotiations, and protects you from tactics designed to shift blame onto you.

Nothing upfront — and nothing at all unless we win. We handle every personal injury case on a contingency fee basis. You pay only if and when we successfully resolve your claim.

South Carolina generally allows three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but certain cases involving government entities or specific circumstances carry shorter deadlines. The sooner you contact us, the better we can protect your rights and preserve critical evidence.

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also recover additional categories of damages.

South Carolina follows comparative fault rules, which means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault — but you can still recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Don't assume partial responsibility disqualifies you; let us evaluate the facts.

We serve clients throughout South Carolina and North Carolina from offices in Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Lancaster, Lake Wylie, York, and Charlotte. No matter where your accident occurred in these regions, we can help.

Seek medical attention right away — even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene, gather witness information, and avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with an attorney. Then contact us for a free case review before making any decisions.

Every case is different. Some claims settle within months after thorough negotiation; others require litigation and may take longer. Our goal is always the fastest resolution that delivers the maximum compensation — we never rush a settlement at the expense of your outcome.
