South Carolina Pedestrian Injury Attorney

Lexington Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

All to often pedestrians who are injured after being struck by a vehicle are severely injured or even killed. It does not require a high speed impact to cause serious injuries. At the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, we represent injured pedestrians or their family recover legal compensation for their damages including medical bills, pain and suffering and lost wages.

Under South Carolina law the operator of a vehicle owes a duty of care to pedestrians. The law even makes it clear that this duty is owed to all pedestrians including children and those under the influence of alcohol.

We have successfully recovered settlements for our clients in cases involving:

Hit and Run Drivers
Children at School Crossings
Uninsured Vehicles
Wrongful Death involving Intoxicated Victims
Pedestrians actually ticketed for the "accident"

We anticipate the usual defenses offered by insurance companies in these claims. It is normal to be initially told that they will not accept any responsibility due to the injury victim "darting out", "failing to pay attention" or "crossing illegally." However the law is clear that the driver owes the pedestrian a duty of care, not the other way around. 

If you or a loved one has been serious injured as a result of any pedestrian accident you are invited to contact the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, for a free consultation. Call 24/7 1-866-252-5789 or direct at (803) 359-3301.
