What Are The Main Causes Of Pedestrian Accidents?
Many factors can cause pedestrian accidents. If a pedestrian isn’t aware of their surroundings, they need to pay close attention to where they are and where they are walking. Pedestrians must also remember to stay off their phones while walking. Unless they are getting directions, phones can lead to injuries. Talking on the phone or texting and walking is just as dangerous as driving while talking or texting on your phone. Other factors that can be the cause of pedestrian accidents also include:
- Failure to Yield Right of Way
- Speeding
- Driving Under the Influence
- Poor Lighting
- Distracted Driving
What Should I Do After A Pedestrian Accident?
If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, you must receive appropriate medical attention as soon as possible. Ask someone to call for an ambulance and to call the police for you. Ensure that you follow instructions from the emergency personnel to ensure your safety. If you aren’t seen by paramedics, make sure to go to an urgent care center or the emergency room as soon as possible.
Seek medical assistance immediately
If you don’t call for an ambulance, make sure to be seen at an urgent care center or the emergency room as soon as possible after your injury. The sooner you’re seen, the better. Keep copies of everything that medical personnel gives you.
Document your injuries
Make sure to write down your injuries as well as take any pictures of your injuries. These may be helpful to your legal team to ensure that you receive the compensation that you’re entitled to. Any major injuries, like brain injuries and spinal cord injuries, need to be treated immediately.
Call the police
It’s essential to make a police report. This will be required if you go to court. Make sure to get a copy of the police report for your personal files. You’ll want to give this to your attorney to use in court.
Do not discuss fault on the scene or with the motorist’s insurance company
Even if you think you were at fault, don’t say it. There may be mitigating factors that you’re unaware of, which may mean that it’s not your fault. The less you say, the better. Exchange the bare minimum information with the other parties. Don’t tell anyone that you’re “okay” or that you don’t need medical attention. Seek medical attention, even if you don’t think you need it. Some injuries can take a few days to appear. At most, share your license, insurance, name, and number with the other party or parties. Do not discuss what happened with other parties involved in the accident.
Contact your insurance company
Many people don’t think to call their health insurance company if they’re injured in a pedestrian accident. It’s important to cover all of your basis and make sure that the right information is on your records. Contact your insurance company as soon as possible. Tell them what happened, when, and where it happened, and give them the information you gathered from the other parties involved in the accident if they require this information.
