WHAT TO DO AFTER A PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT

September 20, 2021 By Ghabour Law

Getting into any vehicular accident can be highly stressful, but it can be particularly traumatic if you were hit as a pedestrian. For many individuals who travel by foot, the roadways can be dangerous. You must be aware of what to do in the unfortunate event you have been struck by a vehicle. Here are some crucial steps you need to take to protect yourself and your legal rights.

SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY
If you are conscious, try to get out of the street and move to a safe location to avoid further accidents. Check yourself for injuries and call the emergency services immediately. However, if you are unconscious, the responsibility falls on the driver or to any witnesses. Remember that some injuries tend to manifest after a few days, so you should have yourself examined by a medical professional right away. Your medical records will also strengthen your legal case, so make sure that you obtain a complete medical evaluation even if you feel fine.
