What should I do after a pedestrian accident?

• 1. Call 911 to report the accident

  It is important to request help as soon as possible after an accident. However, do NOT admit fault or suggest who is at fault. Avoid discussing about the incident and do not apologize for it.

• 2. Seek medical attention

  If you are hurt and at a safe location, try to remain still to not create additional injuries with movement.

• 3. Exchange Information

  This includes the contact information of all parties involved and any witnesses to the accident. It is important to not apologize for the accident or sugest who is at fault.

• 4. Take Photos of the Accident, if possible

  Photos commonly serve as crucial evidence for documenting and reporting an accident.

• 5. Call an experienced lawyer

  When notifying your insurance, do not negotiate directly with the insurance company. Even as a long-time member of an insurance provider, having legal representation can help secure more fair settlement to help you recover.
