A crash can shake you up. Knowing what to do next keeps you safe and guards your rights.

🚨 Immediate Actions to Take:
1. Get to safety and remain calm.
2. Call for help. If injuries are involved, have law enforcement create an official report.
3. Collect names, contact information, and insurance details from everyone involved.
4. Take photos and videos of the vehicles, surroundings, and any visible injuries. Eyewitness accounts are also highly valuable.

⚖️ What NOT to Do After an Accident:
• Don't Admit Fault: Avoid apologizing or saying it was your fault.
• Limit Social Media Use: Avoid posting anything about the accident online. Insurance investigators often monitor social media for evidence to discredit claims.

👩‍⚕️ Prioritize Your Health:
• See a Doctor Immediately: Even if you feel fine, injuries like whiplash, internal trauma, or soft tissue damage can manifest hours or days later. A prompt medical evaluation not only protects your health but establishes a critical record for your claim.
• Look for Delayed Symptoms: Pay attention to soreness, stiffness, or other signs that may develop after the shock wears off. Internal injuries can be subtle but serious.

✅ Additional Advice to Keep in Mind:
• Check on others involved; offer called assistance if necessary to ensure their well-being.
• Notify your insurance company promptly. Provide accurate details, but consult an attorney before giving any formal statements.
• Keep all documentation organized, from medical bills to police reports, for future reference.

We hear these 3 child custody myths far too often. They cause unnecessary stress and lead to incorrect assumptions during proceedings.

Let’s set the record straight here.

MYTH: "Mothers automatically get custody."

FACT: South Carolina courts focus on your child's best interests, not the parent's gender. We've successfully helped both mothers and fathers obtain custody by showing their dedication to their children's wellbeing.

MYTH: "Children get to pick where they live."

FACT: While judges may listen to children's preferences, especially teens, it's just one piece of a bigger picture. The court looks at the whole situation to make the best decision for your child.

MYTH: "The parent who makes more money automatically gets custody."

FACT: Financial resources alone do not determine custody in South Carolina. While a parent's ability to provide for the child is considered, courts evaluate numerous factors including emotional support, stability, and involvement in the child's life.

What Really Matters in Custody Cases:

✓ Your involvement in your child's daily life

✓ Your ability to provide a stable, nurturing home

✓ How well you work with the other parent

✓ Your support of your child's education and activities

✓ The safety and security of your home environment

At DeShon Wyse, we will guide you through custody proceedings with compassion and clarity. We're here to help you understand your rights and fight for your relationship with your children.

Let's work together to protect what matters most - your children's future.

🔫 South Carolina is Now an Open Carry State
Recent changes in South Carolina laws make it legal to carry a firearm openly, provided you meet the requirements. While a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) was previously necessary for specific carrying methods, the Permitless Carry Law now eliminates that requirement for open carry—though obtaining a CWP still offers benefits, such as reciprocity in other states.

❌ Unlawful Carry Charges? Here's the Good News
If you've been charged with improperly carrying a gun and it’s your first offense, South Carolina allows for the expungement of such charges. This gives individuals a clear path to a fresh start.

⚠️ Implications of Gun-Related Offenses
Gun-related charges can lead to broader consequences depending on the classification of the charge:
• Misdemeanors: May limit your ability to buy or possess fi****ms temporarily.
• Felonies: Stricter penalties that permanently restrict firearm ownership and affect employment or housing opportunities.
At DeShon Wyse, we understand how overwhelming these circumstances can be. Our legal experts ensure you know your rights and help you navigate the legal process to protect your future.

Because most elementary aged kids are back in school, we want to remind everyone not to publicly post your child’s name, school, photo and teacher. School photos are precious, and we love them, but too much information in the wrong hands can be disastrous! Keep your babies safe!
