Damages Our Law Firm Recovers for Injured Pedestrians
When our firm represents you, they create a detailed list of your recoverable damages. Potential compensation we request on your behalf may include:
- Economic damages: Past and future medical bills and lost wages, treatment-related travel expenses, property damage or loss, and diminished property value.
- Non-economic damages: Lasting physical disabilities and disfiguring injuries, physical pain and suffering, and ongoing mental and emotional anguish.
- Wrongful death damages (where applicable): Funeral and burial expenses, loss of your loved one’s financial and familial contributions, and loss of consortium and society.
We carefully detail every expense and loss you are entitled to recover, ensure nothing is omitted, and ensure your case is not undervalued or underpaid.
Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Will Ensure the Statute of Limitations is Met
It is never too soon to put our law firm to work on your case. The state where your accident occurred will have a statute of limitations that governs when your resulting lawsuit must be filed. Accordingly:
- In North Carolina, you generally have three years to file your personal injury lawsuit, per G.S. § 1-52, and two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit, per G.S. § 1-53.
- In South Carolina, you generally have three years to file your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, per S.C. Ann § 15-3-530.
In both states, many circumstances of your case can cause a change in the filing deadline. When we represent you in your pursuit of compensation, we ensure the appropriate statute of limitations is correctly interpreted. We also ensure it is met to avoid the costly penalties of non-compliance.
How Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Proves the At-Fault Driver’s Liability
To recover compensation after an accident, you are required to prove the at-fault driver’s negligence. Our pedestrian accident lawyer at Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC will prove the at-fault driver:
- Owed you a duty of reasonable care
- Breached their responsibility to provide it
- Caused your accident and injuries
- Caused your resulting financial damages
Rather than tax you or your family with proving these legal elements, our team will build a compelling case file. We use that file to steer your pedestrian accident case toward a settlement versus a trial.
Our Investigative Team Will Collect and Organize Your Evidence
The case file we build for you is an important part of your case since it will tell the story of your accident and provide proof of its cause and its resulting effects. Evidence that proves the accident’s cause and your right to recover damages include:
- Your accident report
- Witness statements
- Accident reconstruction
- Accident scene photos
- Your medical records
Your case file will also include a section that proves the costs you have or will incur while recovering from the accident. It can include your medical bills, medication lists, written prognosis, employment records, and photos of your injuries. Leave it to us. We will collect all the documents required to substantiate your case.
