What Should I Do After Being in an Accident?
As a pedestrian, you are exposed to serious injuries when involved in an accident with a vehicle. It can be difficult for a pedestrian to recover from such an incident, making maximum compensation necessary in cases. In order to bring forward a strong case, you need solid evidence. Taking certain steps after your accident can ensure you have a compelling claim to stand behind.
Make sure you do the following after a serious pedestrian accident:
- Put Safety First: If you or a loved one was hit, stay at the scene so that everything can be handled appropriately, but move to a safer area when possible.
- Exchange Information: When your injuries aren’t too severe, you can exchange contact and insurance information with the driver and any witnesses.
- Get Medical Attention: Always get medical care as soon as possible. Don’t wait! Even if you don’t feel injured, you may notice more pain after your adrenaline surge wears off.
- Seek Legal Counsel: Having a proven advocate by your side throughout this process is invaluable. You can trust your case to them and focus on fully recovering.
