About Us
At Elliott Frazier Injury Law, LLC, personal injury is our legacy. Our founding attorney, Angela Frazier, was inspired to become a lawyer because of a tragedy that struck her own family.
We know exactly what happens when a powerful corporation tries to sweep a fatal mistake under the rug, and we know exactly how to fight back and win.

The Tragedy That Shaped Our Mission
In 1956, Angela’s grandfather, J. Marvin Elliott, was tragically electrocuted by a dangerously installed and uninsulated power line maintained by the Black River Electric Cooperative. He was a humble farmer and proud carpenter in Cassett, South Carolina, who built his own home and helped his neighbors build theirs. He was simply repairing a well on his property when 7,200 volts of electricity struck him from the power line above.
The negligence that led to his death left a grieving widow and seven children, including Angela’s father, Dick Elliott. During the trial, an electrical engineering expert testified that the power company could have easily made those electric lines safe. Raising the poles to a safe height of 40 feet would have cost the corporation less than $40. They chose to protect their bottom line instead of human life.
A Landmark Victory Against Corporate Greed

The Elliott family took the Black River Electric Cooperative to court and won the largest jury settlement in the state’s history at the time. However, the corporation refused to accept the jury’s decision and forced the family into two additional years of difficult litigation. Hoping to starve the grieving family out and force them into a cheap settlement, Black River deliberately delayed payment and appealed the jury verdict. They appealed first to the South Carolina Court of Appeals. When they lost that battle, the corporation still refused to relent and appealed again to the South Carolina Supreme Court.
During this grueling period, the family faced immense financial hardship brought on by Mr. Elliott's sudden death. To earn money and financially support his family while the corporate lawyers stalled, Angela's father actually started a career in boxing. Despite these difficult circumstances, the Elliott family never backed down. Their perseverance paid off when the South Carolina Supreme Court upheld the landmark jury verdict in July of 1958, pursuant to Elliott v. Black River Electric Cooperative.
It was one of South Carolina’s most significant wrongful death cases to date and helped establish precedent for wrongful death liability and punitive damages in South Carolina. This same precedent paved the way for the protection of other injured and hurt individuals, alerting companies that if they place profits before people, they will pay.
A Legacy of Relentless Advocacy
That landmark case did more than change the legal landscape of South Carolina; it shaped Angela Frazier’s entire life. It gave her a clear, uncompromising purpose: to seek justice for devastated families and hold negligent parties absolutely accountable.
Today, that legacy drives everything we do at Elliott Frazier Injury Law. We work tirelessly to help injury victims recover the massive financial compensation they need to move forward. Angela knows firsthand how quickly carelessness can destroy a family, and she knows that demanding absolute justice is the only way to put the pieces back together.
