PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS CAN BE DEVASTATING

Pedestrians are no match for motor vehicles. In fact, people are completely vulnerable in the presence of a car or another moving vehicle. That’s why when an accident occurs, pedestrian’s are often severely injured or even killed. The power and strength of the vehicle is so great, that even if they are moving at slow speeds serious injuries can still occur.

Anytime a pedestrian is injured in an accident by a moving vehicle, they have the right to fight for financial compensation for their physical and emotional injuries. If you have been the pedestrian victim of an accident, you will want to hire the expert personal injury attorneys at The Law Office of Shawn Athari.

WHAT TO DO AFTER A PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT

As a pedestrian, being hit by a moving vehicle is devastating. The physical and emotional effects are very real and can cause a number of short and long-term problems.
‍
The first thing you will need to do after the accident is to call 911, file a police report, and document the scene as much as possible. If you are too injured to make the call yourself, be sure that someone else does. There are a number of things that you’ll want to help you in your case, including the contact information of any witnesses, as well as pictures and videos of the scene. While your circumstances may prevent you from obtaining these things yourself, try and ensure that someone takes care of these details for you. This is essential information to provide when you file your claim.

Second, you will want to seek immediate medical care. This applies to everyone, even those who believe their injuries are minor and of no consequence. With some injuries, it can take a few days before symptoms arise, and a medical evaluation will determine if you have a hidden problem that needs treatment or observation.
