What to Do If You Are Hit by a Car
Being hit by a car is a traumatic experience, to say the least. You may feel overwhelmed and unsure what to do next in the days and weeks following the accident. It is important to remain calm and follow the steps below if you are able to do so.
After being hit by a car, you should:
- Call the police: No matter the accident’s severity, you should secure a police report. It will be necessary whether you file a lawsuit or make an insurance claim.
- Exchange information with the driver: Get the driver's name, contact information, and insurance information. If anybody witnessed the accident, you should try to get their contact information as well.
- Take pictures of the accident scene: These images can be used as evidence to support you in seeking adequate compensation.
- Never admit fault: Even if you think you may have been partially to blame, you should not say so. Instead, stick to the facts when speaking with the police, the driver, and the insurance company.
- Seek medical attention: If you are seriously injured, call an ambulance or have someone do it for you. If you can walk away from the accident, still see a doctor as soon as possible. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and a doctor could catch them before they become more serious.
- Contact an attorney: Before speaking to an insurance company or agreeing to any settlement, retain an attorney. Your representative can explain your legal rights, determine the compensation you deserve, and help you avoid legal pitfalls that could compromise a claim or lawsuit.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
After handling hundreds of cases, we have worked with clients who have been struck while walking for all sorts of reasons. One of the most common causes of these pedestrian accidents is distracted driving, be it texting, talking on the phone, or eating while behind the wheel.
Other causes of these mishaps include:
- Drivers failing to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks
- Drivers speeding and being unable to slow down or stop in time to avoid a collision
- Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Poorly marked crosswalks that drivers do not see
