Recovering Compensation for Pedestrian Accident Victims and Their Families
Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC has a proven track record of recovering compensation for personal injury victims, including those hurt in pedestrian accidents. We have won over $100 million in settlements and verdicts for our clients. Types of damages we can pursue on your behalf include:
Medical Bills
As the leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States according to the American Bankruptcy Institute, medical bills can have a devastating impact on your life and future. Severe injuries can require hospitalization, surgery, and rehabilitation, all of which can be costly. Compensation may cover these medical treatment expenses.
Lost Income and Earning Capacity
A severe injury can temporarily or permanently prevent you from working to earn an income. You stand to lose not only your regular paycheck but also future raises, bonuses, and benefits, making it even more difficult to pay your bills and provide for your family.
Home Modifications
Your injuries could be severe enough that you require modifications to your home to help you adapt and retain some mobility. This can include installing ramps if you are in a wheelchair or installing railings to help prevent you from falling.
Household Expenses
Because of your physical injuries, you may be unable to provide household services that you are normally responsible for providing such as yard work, cleaning, and home maintenance. You could be entitled to compensation to cover the cost of hiring someone to provide these services.
Transportation
A severe injury could restrict you from driving for some time, requiring you to rely on transportation services. If you need transportation, you can recover compensation to cover the cost.
Pain & Suffering
You could suffer emotional distress, mental anguish, disfiguring injuries, a loss of enjoyment of life, lost companionship, and physical or intellectual disabilities because of the accident. While these non-economic damages are subjective, documenting them is essential to maximize your compensation.
Wrongful Death
Losing someone you love in an accident because of someone else’s negligence is a painful experience no one should ever have to suffer. If a pedestrian accident took someone you love away from you, you can claim wrongful death damages that typically cover the following:
- Medical care bills left behind due to the accident
- Lost income
- Loss of guidance and support
- Loss of inheritance
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral and burial expenses

Statute Of Limitations in Boiling Springs
The deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death claim in South Carolina is generally three years, according to S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530. If you miss the deadline in your case, the judge could dismiss your case, and you will not be able to recover compensation through the courts.
We recommend consulting with a lawyer as soon as possible after a pedestrian accident to allow sufficient time to build your case and file a lawsuit if the insurance company and the negligent party refuse to offer a fair settlement. Our firm will work to meet the statute of limitations in your case so you can have your day in court.
