What Should I Do After a Pedestrian Crash in Greenville, SC?

After a pedestrian crash in Greenville, you should seek medical care as soon as possible, even if you think you are fine. Adrenaline can hide pain, and symptoms involving the head, neck, back, or soft tissue may appear later.

Once your immediate medical needs are addressed, make sure the crash is reported to law enforcement and ask how to obtain the report. It may contain driver information, insurance details, roadway conditions, and other facts about what happened.

If you are able, take photos of your injuries, clothing, damaged belongings, the vehicle, and where you were struck. You should also collect contact information from anyone who saw the crash.

After you receive medical care, keep your bills, treatment records, prescriptions, and follow-up instructions. These documents can show what care you needed, how long treatment continued, and whether you required more appointments or therapy.

If your injuries keep you from working, save pay stubs and other records showing the income you lost. A pedestrian injury claim may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and other losses connected to your injuries.

Because South Carolina follows modified comparative negligence, fault can affect how much compensation you may recover. If you are partly responsible for the crash, your compensation may be reduced based on your share of fault. You generally cannot recover damages if you are more than 50% at fault.

When an insurance company contacts you, avoid guessing about your injuries or how the crash happened. Your symptoms may change as treatment continues, and the insurer may later compare your statements with medical records and other information.

During the claims process, a Greenville pedestrian accident lawyer can identify the insurance coverage that may apply and calculate the losses connected to your injuries. An attorney can also communicate with insurers if they dispute fault or payment.
