Disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh – already accused of defrauding the family of his longtime housekeeper Gloria Satterfield out of millions – is about to be slapped with eight more lawsuits from ex-clients alleging he took advantage of their grave personal injuries to rob them.
Among those allegedly targeted for a financial gain of between tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars is the family of a deaf young man who Murdaugh represented following a 2011 car accident that rendered him a quadriplegic. Indictments show that Murdaugh is also accused of stealing from a former highway patrolman who Murdaugh represented after he was injured in the line of duty.
Justin Bamberg, an attorney and Democratic state representative, told Fox News Digital he is working on civil complaints to be filed in Hampton County, South Carolina, on behalf of at least eight people who were allegedly defrauded out of anywhere between $90,000 to $750,000. Those filings will include allegations brought by the family of a man who attended the South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind.
“It is really infuriating, to be honest. There’s no real way to downplay it like,” Bamberg told Fox News Digital, claiming many other victims are out there. “People don’t know the depth of this thing.”
The young man, who was already deaf, was rendered a quadriplegic in a 2011 car accident and was placed on a ventilator. His mother was driving and was permanently injured, as was another passenger.
