Easley, SC (July 26, 2026) – A pedestrian was injured after a vehicle struck them near the northbound lanes of Highway 123 at Evelyn Road in Easley on Saturday, July 25.
Emergency units arrived and assisted the pedestrian. Officials have not released the pedestrian’s identity or injury severity, and it remains unclear whether the pedestrian went to a hospital.
The driver’s identity has not been confirmed. Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
We hope the injured pedestrian receives the care and support needed during recovery.
In Easley and throughout South Carolina, injured pedestrians generally have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit. The deadline may begin when the person knew or reasonably should have known that an injury and legal claim existed. Certain circumstances can shorten or extend that period.
After the initial shock fades, injuries may become more noticeable in the days that follow. Pedestrians have little protection from a moving vehicle’s force, so even a lower-speed strike can cause lasting harm. Medical records can connect symptoms, treatment, and daily limitations to the accident.
Across Easley, pedestrians travel near Calhoun Memorial Highway, Pendleton Street, and Highway 8. These roads carry steady local and regional traffic through the city and surrounding communities. Turning vehicles, limited visibility, and higher speeds can increase risks for those on foot along these routes.
In many cases, the filing period does not depend on when medical treatment ends. Different deadlines or notice requirements may apply when a government agency owns the vehicle or maintains the roadway.
Even when several years remain, waiting can make a claim harder to support. Camera footage may be erased, physical evidence can disappear, and important details may become harder to confirm. Insurance policies may also require notice soon after an accident occurs.
When filing deadlines become unclear, a pedestrian accident lawyer can review the facts and determine the filing period. An attorney can also preserve evidence, obtain relevant records, and handle communications with the insurer. Early guidance may help prevent a missed deadline from limiting the claim.
