Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are vulnerable. Over five thousand pedestrians are killed and over seventy thousand injured while walking on or across sidewalks, roads, and parking lots. Pedestrians are hit while waiting to catch a bus or while waiting to cross a street.
What should I do after a pedestrian accident?
Medical Attention
First, look after your health: seek medical attention, then help others at the accident if you’re able.
Keep Calm
Second, keep calm. Never accept blame at the scene. In fact, don’t provide details until after you’ve calmed down and are ready to talk to an investigator with an attorney by your side.

Be Proactive
Third, be proactive. Contact your insurance provider. If possible, take pictures of the accident, pictures of injuries to you and loved ones, and pictures of the environment.
