Time Limitations for Filing

After a pedestrian accident, your priority should be your recovery. But it is also important to understand that South Carolina law limits how long you have to pursue compensation. Missing an important deadline could prevent you from recovering damages for your injuries and losses.

• Personal injury claims: In most pedestrian accident cases, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
• Accidents involving government vehicles: If a government vehicle or agency was involved in your accident, different deadlines & legal requirements may apply.
• Accidents involving children: South Carolina law may provide additional time for injured minors to pursue certain personal injury claims. However, other claims related to medical expenses or damages may have different deadlines.
