North Carolina Damages for Hit and Run Victims
In North Carolina, victims of hit and run accidents can seek compensation for economic damages that cover quantifiable losses. This includes medical expenses for immediate and ongoing treatments, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages if the injury prevents the victim from working. Additionally, victims can claim compensation for property damage, such as repairs to or replacement of their vehicle.
Non-economic damages cater to losses that are not financially quantifiable but significantly impact the victim’s quality of life. These include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. The severity of the injury and its long-term effects on the victim’s lifestyle are critical factors in determining these damages.
Wrongful Death Damages for Fatal Accidents
If a hit and run accident tragically results in death, the victim’s family may file for wrongful death damages. These are comprehensive and include the economic support the deceased would have provided, funeral and burial expenses, and loss of companionship or consortium. The emotional pain associated with such loss is also considered under non-economic damages in these cases.
By seeking these damages, Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC helps ensure that victims and their families receive the support they need to rebuild their lives after a hit and run accident.
Compensation for a Hit and Run Accident in South Carolina
In South Carolina, victims of hit and run accidents are entitled to seek various forms of compensation to cover both tangible and intangible losses. Here’s a breakdown of the potential damages:
- We seek medical expenses to cover the costs for emergency treatment, ongoing care, and future medical needs.
- Our lawyers pursue lost wages for the income lost due to temporary or permanent inability to work.
- You are also entitled to pursue pain and suffering. This compensates for physical pain and emotional distress resulting from the accident.
- If you are suffering from the loss of enjoyment of life, we can ask for this compensation, too. This addresses the decrease in quality of life due to injuries, including inability to participate in hobbies and other activities.
- We also seek wrongful death damages if the accident resulted in the fatality of your loved one. We seek recompense for funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support and benefits the deceased would have provided, and loss of companionship, care, or protection offered by the deceased.

The team at Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC is dedicated to helping victims and their families in South Carolina navigate these claims, ensuring they receive the full compensation they deserve.

Time Is of the Essence After a Hit and Run Accident
In both North Carolina and South Carolina, personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are governed by specific statutes that stipulate time limits for filing claims. In North Carolina, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally three years (N.C. Gen. Stat. §1-52), and for wrongful death cases, it is two years from the date of death (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-53).
South Carolina law mandates that personal injury lawsuits and wrongful death claims must be filed within three years per S.C. Ann. §15-3-530. Given these time constraints, it is crucial to seek legal assistance promptly. Delaying legal consultation can jeopardize your ability to file a lawsuit and claim damages.
At Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, we emphasize the importance of acting swiftly to preserve evidence, engage expert witnesses, and establish a strong case within the legal timelines. Our experienced attorneys can guide you through the complex legal process, ensuring your rights are protected and your claims are filed on time.
