Fair compensation after a pedestrian accident should cover the full scope of your losses, not just the immediate expenses you have. Our Wake Forest pedestrian accident attorneys will listen to your story and may consult with medical professionals so that we can pursue the future losses you may face as well.
You may be able to recover compensation for:
Past, Present, and Future Medical Expenses
Pedestrian accident injuries can include broken bones, lacerations, head trauma, internal organ damage, and spinal cord injuries. These can incur high medical costs, including those for:

- Doctor appointments.
- Physical or rehabilitative therapy.
- Medications.
- Surgeries.
- Long-term facility-based care, such as assisted living.
Professional Losses
These could include lost wages and lost job benefits (like PTO), but they can also reflect long-term losses. For example, if the accident disables you and you are unable to return to work, then you may be able to recover reduced future earning capacity as well.
Other Expenses
These can include:
- Repairing or replacing damaged personal belongings.
- Home or vehicle modifications.
- Mobility assistance devices, such as wheelchairs.
- Transportation to and from medical appointments.
- Housekeeping or child care services while you recover.

If your loved one passed away after a pedestrian accident, we’re sorry for your loss. Our Wake Forest wrongful death lawyers can work to hold at-fault parties accountable by pursuing compensation for:
- Your loss of financial support.
- Your loss of emotional support and/or parental guidance.
- Medical expenses from the accident and end-of-life care.
- Funeral costs.
- Burial or cremation costs.
What Is the Deadline for Recovering Compensation After a Pedestrian Accident in Wake Forest?
In North Carolina, you typically have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit, per N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52. Wrongful death suits generally must be filed within two years, per N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-53.
Some circumstances may exist where the timeframe is shorter, so always consult with your attorney about what to expect.
In addition to filing within the statute of limitations, getting started on your case as soon as possible can also help with the collection of evidence.

Call 888-843-8326What Should You Do After a Pedestrian Accident?
If you’ve been in a pedestrian accident, your top priority is to ensure your safety. Always seek medical attention after an accident for proper diagnosis and treatment, as some injuries may not present immediately.
In addition to getting medical care, always call the police or 9-1-1 to report the accident. Responding officers can help ensure the safety of everyone involved.
If it’s safe for you to do so, take photos of the accident scene and include shots of any visible injuries you have.
Finally, contact a lawyer. Your lawyer can talk to insurance adjusters on your behalf and begin building your case.
