What to do if you are involved in a car v. pedestrian accident?
Car v. pedestrian accidents happen in a flash and can leave those involved in a daze. The last thing you need is to add insult to injury by jeopardizing your case because of making a panicked decision after your accident. It is important to stay clam and follow these basic steps to protect your rights and put yourself in the best position to get the maximum compensation for the trauma that ensues after a pedestrian accident.
​
Gather Evidence
​
Evidence from the accident scene can be used to determine who is at fault and ensure your compensation is coming from the liable party. Exchanging the names, addresses, phone numbers, driver's license numbers, and insurance information of all parties involved in the car accident is important. This information can be obtained very quickly, especially if you snap a picture of the driver's license, and insurance information with your phone. While your phone is out, do not forget to take pictures of the vehicles and the surrounding scene of the accident.
​
Obtain a Police Report
​
A police report can be a crucial piece of evidence a little later in your case. Police reports may contain a determination of liability and sometimes the police report is the difference between having a winning case or not. Thus, it is important to call the police to the scene of the accident.
​
Dont Hesitate to Get Medical Help
​
Injuries from a car v. pedestrian accident do not always set in right away and the adrenalin of the even may have you feeling like your injuries are minor or even nonexistent. Soft tissue injuries that may result from a car accident can take hours, days, or even weeks before they set in. Pedestrians are significantly more likely to be seriously hurt and or die from this type of accident. Either way, it is very important to get a professional doctors opinion regarding the true injuries as a result from your car v. pedestrian accident.
