What To Do After A Pedestrian Accident In Sunnyvale

Try to remain calm after a pedestrian collision if you are still able to do so. Doing so will allow you to take the following steps and protect your health and rights to compensation:

• Check for injuries and dial 911. Do not leave the accident scene, but move to a safe place. If moving would worsen your injuries, ask for help and stay motionless. Let yourself be treated by the paramedics.
• Take note of the contact details of the driver and any witnesses, if possible. This will be very helpful to the police when they file their official report.
• If you can, take pictures and videos of the accident scene, the car that was involved, and your injuries.
• Talk to the authorities about the situation, but don’t make any assumptions, apologize, or take responsibility.
• Get medical help at a hospital right away, and pay close attention to what your doctor says.
• Nothing should be shared on social media. Adjusters for insurance companies could try to devalue your claim and reduce the amount they have to pay you.
• Call Arash Law at (888) 488-1391. We can gather evidence, such as CCTV footage from nearby businesses, and ensure every aspect of your case is handled effectively. Our reliable pedestrian accident lawyers can help you recover financial compensation for all of your losses.
