Traffic accidents involving pedestrians can occur in a matter of seconds, and there is a lot to consider in the time immediately afterward, starting with your own health and safety. If you are involved in an accident as a pedestrian, here are the basic essential steps to take:
- Move out of the way of traffic. The people involved and the vehicle itself should be moved to the side of the road, if possible until medical professionals arrive on-scene.
- Remember important details. The driver’s license plate number and insurance information should be obtained, and anything important about how the accident occurred or what contributed to it should be written down or at least memorized.
- Contact law enforcement. A police report is often necessary for these accidents, especially those in which someone was injured or the driver fled the scene.
- Keep all records and receipts. Much of this documentation, such as medical records and the other driver’s information, will be important for your personal injury claim at a later time.
- Contact an experienced personal injury attorney. Ensure that your rights are protected and you can be fully compensated for your injuries and losses.
