How Our Attorneys can Help You win Your Pedestrian Accident Case in Pickens

Once you hire our attorney to build a pedestrian accident case, we will handle every aspect of the case from start to finish. First, we will establish fault by proving the four elements of negligence:

  • Duty of care: The driver (or at-fault party) had a duty of care to keep you and other pedestrians safe from harm on the road.
  • Breach of duty: The driver (or another at-fault party) breached that duty by acting in a negligent or reckless way that put you in harm’s way.
  • Causation: That breach of duty caused your injuries.
  • Damages: As a result, you have injuries and other losses.

We can Gather and File All the Necessary Paperwork in Your Case

Once we have established fault for your pedestrian accident case in Pickens, we will also do the following:

  • Gather evidence, including the police report, your medical records, any eyewitness testimony, photographs, or surveillance video of the accident scene and your injuries
  • File all paperwork, including court documents
  • Hire experts to testify on your behalf, such as physicians, accident reconstruction specialists, etc.
  • Handle all communications with the at-fault party’s attorney, insurance companies, etc.
  • Keep you updated on the progress of your case and notify you of any important developments

Our mission is to make South Carolina a safer place for everyone. A lawyer from Hammack Law Firm familiar with pedestrian accident cases will hold the negligent party accountable. You should not have to bear the physical, emotional, and financial burden of an accident that someone else caused.

Recoverable Damages You Could Receive in a Pedestrian Accident Case

When you are injured in a pedestrian accident, you may still be in the hospital, missing time from work, and wondering what to do about the bills that are piling up. When filing a personal injury case, you may be eligible for two types of damages due to the accident: economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages are easier to calculate because they are the actual financial losses you have suffered since the accident. They include:

  • Past and future medical expenses, including costs for ambulance transport, hospitalization, surgeries, physical therapy, assistive medical devices, prescription medicines
  • Lost income for the time you missed from work due to physician appointments, rehabilitation, etc.
  • Future lost earning capacity if you have to take a lower-paying job or not work at all due to your injuries
  • Property damage for the cost of repairing or replacing property damaged in the pedestrian accident

Noneconomic damages are less tangible, so they are more difficult to tabulate. They account for the emotional toll the accident has had on you and are supported by the South Carolina Noneconomic Damage Awards Act. They include such items as:

  • Pain and suffering, such as chronic pain you have dealt with since the accident that prevents you from working or picking your kids up from school
  • Mental anguish if your accident-related injuries left you depressed or unable to sleep)
  • Scarring or permanent disability if your injuries have had a lasting impact on your body
  • Loss of enjoyment of activities if you can no longer enjoy hobbies and activities you once did before the accident, such as jogging or playing tennis
  • Loss of consortium if you lost a loved one in the pedestrian accident

To those who have lost a family member in the pedestrian accident, you have our deepest sympathies. An attorney from Hammack Law Firm who handles wrongful death cases can analyze the evidence and advise you accordingly.

Do Not Delay Filing Your Claim or You Could Miss Out
