What To Do After Being Injured In A Pedestrian Accident

After a pedestrian accident, remain calm. Take the following steps to protect your well-being and right to compensation:

1. Check for injuries and call 911. Move to a safe location near the scene of the accident. If moving will aggravate your injuries, ask for help and stay still. Let the paramedics give you initial medical care.
2. Note the contact details of the driver and any witnesses to the collision. This will be instrumental in the police report.
3. If you can, take pictures and videos of your injuries, the vehicle involved, and the scene of the collision.
4. Talk to the authorities about what happened, but avoid taking the blame, saying sorry, or making assumptions.
5. Get prompt medical help at a hospital and strictly follow your doctor’s medical advice.
6. Don’t post on social media. Insurance adjusters are trained to look for anything they could use to hurt your claim and reduce the amount they have to pay you.
