How a Greer Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Can Support You and Your Family
Should you choose a Greer pedestrian accident attorney from our firm to represent you, we will meet the specific needs of your claim by evaluating your case and determining the best way to serve. Our work on personal injury cases typically includes:
- Assuming responsibility for communications with all parties.
- Gather information that leads to proving negligence and liability for the accident and your injuries, such as eyewitness statements, medical bills and treatment records, police reports, visual data of your injuries and the accident scene, or physical evidence.
- Provide regular case updates and confer with you on decisions that may affect your case.
- Assist you in accounting for your losses and filing a compensation claim with the liable party’s insurance company.
- Negotiate with the insurers for a full and fair settlement.
- If settlement negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance carrier fail to deliver what you deserve, prepare your case for court and represent you in court.
Establishing Negligence in Your Pedestrian Accident Claim
If we are to pursue compensation for your personal injury claim, we must prove someone’s negligent action or inaction led to your losses. To do this, we focus on four key elements:
- The defendant had a duty of care to act as any reasonable person would to prevent you from being harmed
- The defendant breached that duty by acting negligently
- That act of negligence caused the accident and your injury
- Your injury resulted in sustained losses
Recovering Damages for Pedestrian Accident Victims
Without knowing the specifics of your case and your losses, we cannot say with certainty what may be included in your compensation claim. However, economic and non-economic damages are typically paid out for a personal injury case. Economic damages are objective. Financial losses and non-economic damages are subjective losses that do not have a set cost attached. Damages may include but are not limited to:
- Current and future medical care expenses, such as hospital stays, surgery, treatment, rehabilitation, or aftercare
- Wages lost during recovery or the difference in income between your pre-accident wages and current wages, if your earnings capacity is affected
- Loss of future earnings, if you are unable to work again
- Property damage, if your phone or other items were damaged in the accident
- Mental anguish, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain and suffering
Discuss your losses with Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC. We will help you understand the types of compensation you may be eligible to claim.
Meeting the Deadline to File a Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit in South Carolina
Every state sets a statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit after an accident. In South Carolina, you are generally given three years from the date of the accident to begin legal action, per S.C. Ann. § 15-3-530. If you miss the deadline, you may not be allowed to pursue compensation through the courts.
As your legal representative, we will handle all administrative tasks for you, ensuring that deadlines like this are met.
Contingency Based Legal Representation for Pedestrian Accident Cases
Our lawyers know how to work within South Carolina’s personal injury laws to fight for the best possible outcome for you and your family. We know that any type of injury accident can bring on unexpected costs, and we refuse to add legal fees to that financial burden.
If we take on your case, we do so on a contingency fee basis. You pay no fees until we win your case and recover financial compensation for you. If we don’t win, you won’t pay. Before we begin our work together, you will be clear on fees and any expected payments, and it will be your choice whether to proceed or not.
