If you’re injured after a pedestrian accident, you have several rights. These rights include, but are not limited to, the following:
It’s highly recommended to refrain from discussing the details of your accident before speaking with a lawyer. Pursue necessary steps above, such as collecting evidence and seeking medical attention, then retain a lawyer as soon as possible. If you are badly injured, call us right away before any evidence is lost.
If you are injured in a pedestrian accident, we have a few suggestions for the next steps you should take.
If you are injured due to someone else’s negligent actions, we strongly recommend you seek medical attention ASAP. An initial medical professional should normally be able to assess your injury situation for a preliminary diagnosis what injuries you are suffering, provide adequate immediate treatment options, prevent your injuries from worsening, and refer you to medical specialists. If you choose not to get a prompt medical evaluation, it is likely to be used as evidence that your injuries are not so bad.
Ultimately, your health and well-being are the top priorities. If you wish to pursue a recovery for the harm and damages you suffer, professional medical care is usually the best way to prove your injuries and ensure you receive adequate compensation for your damages. This includes ambulance and hospital service charges, medical care fees, physical therapy costs, and more. This is because an itemized medical bill is usually dated and detailed. The same initial and later treatment by medical professionals often helps you determine and prove which conditions were caused or contributed to (such as the aggravation of a pre-existing condition) by your accident.
We strongly recommend that you avoid discussing your case whenever possible, and this includes avoiding discussions with close friends and family. The only exception would be speaking with your lawyer, as your legal representative may not be required to disclose information about your case to others.
We also recommend staying off of social media as much as possible. Discussing your case in person, as well as any statements you make online, may be tied back to your case. Any of these statements may be used against you, so please exercise caution.
If you intend to take legal action, it is essential to find and consult legal counsel. You should hire a lawyer as soon as possible, and your lawyer may be able to assist you in several ways, including the following:
