What Compensation Can I Recover After a Pedestrian Crash in Greenville, SC?

After a pedestrian crash in Greenville, you may recover money for medical bills, missed pay, pain and suffering, future care, reduced earning ability, and other losses. The amount depends on the severity and lasting effects of your injuries.

When deciding who was responsible, investigators may look at the driver’s speed, attention, traffic signals, road signs, lighting, and actions before the collision. An employer may also be responsible if the driver was working or using a company vehicle.

If you share fault, South Carolina’s modified comparative negligence rule may reduce your payment based on your share of blame. You usually cannot recover compensation if you are found more than 50% responsible, even when the other person shares blame.

Even if the driver caused the crash, insurance limits may not cover all your losses, especially when treatment continues or missed work causes your bills to grow. Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may help when the driver has no insurance, too little coverage, or cannot be found.

Because South Carolina generally gives you three years to file a personal injury lawsuit, waiting too long may end your right to recover compensation. Claims involving a government office or public agency may have different deadlines and filing rules, making it helpful to identify the correct deadline early.

As your claim moves forward, medical records, pay records, photos, the crash report, and receipts can show how the collision affected you. Keeping these items organized may help prevent arguments about your injuries and financial losses during insurance discussions.

After an insurer disputes fault or undervalues your losses, a Greenville pedestrian accident lawyer can investigate the crash, identify available insurance policies, calculate the value of your claim, and communicate with the companies involved throughout the claims process.
