Being involved in a pedestrian accident can be a scary situation, and it is easy to become disoriented and confused. However, if possible, important steps should be followed to protect your rights and improve your ability to receive compensation.
If you have been in a pedestrian accident, you should:
- Call the police and insist that a police report is filed.
- Document the accident scene with photographs or video, and obtain the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all witnesses.
- Seek medical attention, even if you do not believe your injuries are serious. Some injuries develop long after an accident and worsen significantly over time.
- Make no statements about the accident other than to the police, your doctor, and a lawyer of your own choosing. Truthful statements made in an attempt to be helpful can easily be misinterpreted and used against you.
- Do not sign any insurance or settlement documents without consulting a pedestrian accident lawyer.
