Your case begins with a free, no-obligation consultation where we evaluate your situation and review your legal options. We want to know the details of the accident so we get to work building your case for compensation, which includes:
- Investigating the accident: We will investigate the accident to identify the negligent party and establish the facts of the case.

How a Union Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Can Help You Recover Damages
Pedestrian accident injuries can be costly. Not only do you face medical bills that could lead to bankruptcy, but you may also be unable to work and earn an income. A pedestrian accident can be particularly devastating because you have no protection like a driver does inside a vehicle.
There are three types of damages you can claim after a pedestrian accident:
Economic Damages
Damages with a calculable monetary value include medical bills, loss of income, household services, home modifications, property damage, transportation and child care services, and rehabilitation. Please seek medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident so your doctor can diagnose, treat, and document your physical injuries.
Non-Economic Damages
Damages with a subjective value include emotional trauma, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, lost companionship, physical and intellectual disabilities, disfigurement, and pain and suffering. If you are experiencing depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), please seek help from a mental health professional and keep a journal documenting how the accident is impacting your emotional and mental well-being.
Wrongful Death Damages
Losing a loved one in an accident is the worst kind of news you can receive. It is heartbreaking and changes your family forever. A lawyer from our firm can help you recover wrongful death damages to protect your future and get justice for your loved one. Wrongful death damages typically cover medical care, lost income, loss of care, pain and suffering, and funeral costs. Our hearts ache for you and your family during this painful time, and it would be our privilege to handle your case, allowing you to focus on mourning.
Timely Legal Action Is Crucial for Pedestrian Accident Victims in South Carolina
Insurance companies want to run out the clock on the statute of limitations so you cannot file a lawsuit to recover fair compensation for your losses through the legal process. The statute of limitations is the deadline to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit after an accident.
In South Carolina, the deadline to file a lawsuit is generally three years, per S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530. Failing to file a lawsuit before the deadline expires could result in losing your right to take legal action. However, there are reasons a judge could grant you an extension, including:
- Discovery rule: The statute of limitations begins after the discovery of the injury. Some injuries may not present immediately after an accident.
- Injured party is a minor: If you were a minor at the time of the accident you have up to one year to file a lawsuit after you turn 18.
- Incapacitation: In cases in which the victim suffers mental incapacitation, the statute of limitations is five years to file a lawsuit.
Do not wait for the clock to run out. Contact a Union pedestrian accident lawyer today.
