How a Valley Falls Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Can Help You
A pedestrian accident occurs when a person gets hit by a vehicle while walking, cycling, or running. Drivers have a reasonable duty of care when there are pedestrians nearby. An accident can happen anywhere, including parking lots, driveways, and roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), pedestrian injuries and fatalities remain high.
When an accident happens, we strongly recommend seeking immediate medical attention. Even if you do not feel like you have an injury, seeing a doctor as soon as possible is the best practice. Your doctor can diagnose, treat, and document your injuries, including injuries that can take time to present symptoms. We also recommend consulting with a lawyer.

Types of Damages Pedestrian Accident Victims May Be Entitled to Recover
Pedestrian accidents can cause a variety of severe injuries, including traumatic brain injury, internal organ damage, lacerations, bruises, spinal cord and back injuries, neck injuries, injuries to the extremities, and broken bones.
These physical injuries can have a lasting impact on your body and require the need for care into the future. But your injuries can also leave scars that no one else can see by impacting your emotional and mental health. We will fight for financial compensation for all your damages so you can get justice and find closure.
There are three types of damages you can claim in South Carolina:
- Economic damages: Damages with a verifiable monetary value include medical expenses, lost income, home modifications, household services, transportation, physical therapy, and property damage. There are no caps on economic damages in pedestrian accident cases.
- Non-economic damages: Damages with a subjective value include emotional distress, mental anguish, disfigurement, disabilities, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and lost companionship. There are no caps on non-economic damages in pedestrian accident cases.
- Wrongful death damages: You can claim wrongful death damages to cover funeral costs, medical bills, lost income, and emotional pain and suffering if you lost someone you love in a pedestrian accident. We extend our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. A Valley Falls wrongful death lawyer can handle your case so you can grieve.
Take Action Before the Deadline Expires to File a Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit in Spartanburg County
We recommend consulting with a lawyer as soon as possible after suffering injuries in a pedestrian accident. A lawyer can protect your rights and begin collecting evidence. Evidence in a pedestrian accident can include:
- Police reports
- Medical records
- Video footage
- Accident scene photos
- Witness statements
- Expert opinions
Because evidence of the accident can disappear and witness memories fade over time, the sooner a lawyer takes your case, the better. According to S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530, you have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death claim to recover compensation from the negligent party through the legal process.
Our firm will work to meet the statute of limitations in your case so all your legal options to recover the compensation you deserve remain available to you. If the negligent party and their insurer will not pay a fair settlement, we are not afraid to take your case to trial.
