How Can Comparative Negligence Affect a Pedestrian Accident Claim in Greenville, SC?

Comparative negligence can affect how much compensation a pedestrian may recover after an accident in Greenville, SC. South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning an injured person’s percentage of fault can reduce the damages available. A pedestrian who is found 51% or more at fault generally cannot recover compensation.

For example, if a pedestrian has $100,000 in damages and is found 20% responsible for the accident, the potential recovery could be reduced to $80,000. When another driver or multiple parties contributed to the injuries, South Carolina law provides for the apportionment of fault among the parties responsible for the damages.

Evidence can be particularly important in a pedestrian accident claim. Crash reports, photographs, witness statements, traffic-camera footage, vehicle damage, roadway conditions, crosswalk information, and other records may help establish how the accident occurred and whether the pedestrian or another party contributed to the injuries.

A pedestrian involved in a Greenville accident should understand how comparative negligence could affect a potential personal injury claim. Establishing each party’s percentage of fault may directly affect the amount of compensation that can ultimately be recovered.
