Legal Actions You Need to Know if You’re Involved in a Pedestrian Accident
9/25/2019
A pedestrian accident can happen anytime to anybody. No matter how careful you can be, if the other party failed to be careful at that time, an accident can happen. Accidents can happen also if the other party encountered a problem with his/her vehicle. A recent road mishap can lead to another string of accidents if other passing vehicles are not careful.
If you are involved in a pedestrian accident here are the legal actions you need to know:
Whether the accident is the fault of the vehicle’s driver or the fault of the pedestrian crossing, the person who suffers the most is the pedestrian hit by a vehicle. Injuries depending on the intensity of the hit can cause the victim a temporary or lifetime disability, or worse, death.
First, when a collision between the vehicle and pedestrian occurs, make sure to contact the medical team to assess and to give first aid to the injured party, if there is no witness the driver that hit the pedestrian can contact the medical team or the person hit if the injury is not that severe and he/she can use his/her hand to contact a rescue and medical team. The life of the person should be the first priority.
After the medical team, make sure to contact the police, in some places the medical team and the police usually arrive together. Be alert and memorize the details of the event, know the personal information of the party involved whether you are the victim or you are the one responsible. Also, look for a possible witness to the accident.
Proving your innocence will help you in legal matters in case the other party involved will file for a lawsuit. The pedestrian hit if fully awake should remember the plate number of the vehicle, in case this will be a hit and run case it will help the authorities to find the car and the driver.
Making your case easier and faster to be done. Take some pictures of the incident, as proof of the accident, it is easier for you to get your insurance.
Contact a pedestrian accident attorney, your attorney will be the one to help you gather evidence and look and interview witnesses to stand for you, they can also help you in your insurance claim, doing the necessary paper works as it requires a lot of papers to be submitted to your Insurance company from police report to medical report. Your attorney also knows how to calculate for the damages that will compensate you properly. Without an attorney, the other party might give you a lesser amount for the settlement and it is hard work for you and if living alone can lengthen the process of the case, your claim, and your settlement.
Accidents can be prevented by being alert and observant of what is happening around you. However, there are certain accidents that can never be perceived. If you have involved in pedestrian accident contact right away the medical team and police, also do not hesitate to contact a pedestrian accident lawyer.
