Justice for a Preventable Tragedy
If insurance companies were always fair, there would be no need to hire a lawyer after a family member's fatal accident. In reality, you will need strong representation to demand rightful compensation for a wrongful death.
Unfortunately, when a catastrophe strikes, the last thing on your mind is hiring a lawyer or investigating the scene while the evidence is fresh.
The Law Office of F. Craig Wilkerson, Jr. has a demonstrated record of success in these lawsuits. Our Rock Hill attorney has represented families in South Carolina and statewide in proving the negligence or reckless acts that took their loved one prematurely. We also can assist with the Probate Court in having Guardians, Special Administrators, and Personal Representatives appointed in cases and assist with the Probate matters.

Experienced Wrongful Death Attorney
Accomplished trial lawyer Craig Wilkerson has secured many verdicts and settlements in 16 years of practice, we handle wrongful death claims for all types of preventable deaths:
- Car accidents, including deadly crashes caused by drunk drivers or roadway hazards
- Commercial truck accidents
- DUI
- Train Wrecks
- Motorcycle crashes
- Medical malpractice
- Nursing home negligence
- Construction accidents and work-related deaths
- Electrocution or drowning
There are two potential claims that can result from a fatal accident: a survival action on behalf of the deceased's estate for the medical bills and pain and suffering prior to death, and a wrongful death claim on behalf of a spouse, dependent children or parents for the funeral costs, lost earning capacity and the lost contributions of that person to family life.
Many survivors have unrealistic expectations about wrongful death compensation, or don't know what to expect or where to start. Mr. Wilkerson will sit down with you in a free case evaluation and give honest answers about the potential damages, the lawsuit process and the merits of your claim. He will carry the case through to trial if necessary to bring the negligent party to trial and to get fair compensation from the insurance company.
