Types of Compensation Pedestrian Accident Victims Can Pursue
Having served over 10,000 clients and recovered more than $100 million in compensation, Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, will fight for a full settlement to cover your damages. There are three types of damages you can claim after a pedestrian accident in Spartanburg County, including:
Economic Damages
Ecomonic damages you may be able to claim include:
- Medical bills: Medical expenses are the number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States, according to the American Bankruptcy Institute, including South Carolina. If you choose bankruptcy protection, a Woodruff bankruptcy lawyer can assist you.
- Lost wages: You already have bills to pay, but not being able to work because of your injuries can make a bad situation even worse. You can recover compensation for lost income and benefits.
- Rehabilitation: You may require physical therapy to get back on your feet to go back to work, or at least regain some mobility.
- Household services: Compensation can cover the cost of hiring someone to perform household services such as cleaning and yard work.
- Home modifications: You may require ramps if you are in a wheelchair or railings to prevent yourself from falling. You could even require larger doorways or shower seats.
- Transportation: If your injuries prevent you from driving, you may need to hire a service, the cost of which compensation can cover.
Non-Economic Damages
You may additionally be eligible for non-economic damages, such as:
- Emotional and mental trauma: This can include nightmares, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and mood swings. We urge you to seek help from a mental health professional and keep a journal to document how this trauma is impacting your life.
- Disfiguring injuries: A disfiguring injury, such as scarring, can cause embarrassment or humiliation.
- Disability: An accident can leave you with physical and intellectual disabilities.
- Diminished quality of life: A reduction in your overall well-being and happiness because of your injuries and losses.

Act Before the Statute of Limitations Expires to File Your Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit
You have injuries and mounting financial losses. We understand you have a lot on your plate right now, but we strongly urge you to consult with a personal injury lawyer at your earliest convenience after a pedestrian accident so you can file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires in your case.
S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530 sets the deadline to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit in South Carolina at three years from the date of the accident. There may be exceptions to this deadline, and your attorney will explain it to you. The sooner we take your case, the more time we have to collect evidence and file a lawsuit on your behalf if that is necessary to recover compensation from the negligent party and their insurer.
