Have You Or A Loved One Suffered Injuries In A Pedestrian Accident?

Despite being protected by the law, pedestrians often fall victim to negligent drivers. The ongoing issue of distracted driving leads to countless tragic incidents every year, causing life-altering injuries and even fatalities. The aftermath of such a pedestrian accident often requires expensive medical procedures and demanding physical therapy. This not only takes a toll on the victim's physical and emotional well-being but also their financial stability.


In order to prevent these devastating accidents, it is important for both drivers and pedestrians to be aware of their surroundings and follow all traffic laws. Drivers should refrain from any distractions such as texting or adjusting the radio while behind the wheel. It only takes a split second of taking your eyes off the road for a tragedy to occur.


Pedestrians can also play a role in preventing accidents by being cautious when crossing roads and using designated crosswalks when available. It may be tempting to use your phone while walking, but doing so can put you in danger as distracted drivers may not see you in time.


If you are a victim of a pedestrian accident, it is important to seek medical attention immediately and report the incident to the authorities. Even if you feel fine at first, injuries can manifest later on and it is crucial to have documentation of the accident for legal purposes.

What Should You Do After a Pedestrian Accident?

First, prioritize your health by getting immediate medical attention. After a pedestrian accident, shock often sets in, masking the signs of potential injury. Certain injuries, like a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), may not show symptoms until much later. Secondly, ensure you secure a copy of the accident report from the police or other law enforcement agency that investigated the accident. Collate as much information as possible, such as photos and contact details of witnesses. If possible, gather the insurance information of the party responsible for the accident - and remember to report the incident to your own insurance company. Crucially, it's important to consult with a personal injury attorney like Lance Richard in Florida. Lance Richard is adept at helping accident victims pursue justice, providing support at every step of the journey. Learn more in your initial consultation. Schedule yours with Lance Richard today!
