PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENTS

What to Do If You Are A Victim of a Pedestrian Accident

Pedestrian accidents are a serious problem in Minnesota. Every year, thousands of people are injured or killed in pedestrian accidents. If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to compensation.

Here are some things you should do if you are injured in a pedestrian accident:

  1. Seek medical attention immediately. Even if you do not feel injured, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible after a pedestrian accident. This is especially important if you have any pain, numbness, or tingling. A doctor can evaluate your injuries and make sure that they are properly treated.
  2. Contact the police. The police should be called to the scene of any pedestrian accident. The police will create a report of the accident, which can be helpful in your personal injury case.
  3. Get the names and contact information of all witnesses. If there are any witnesses to the pedestrian accident, be sure to get their names and contact information. Witnesses can provide valuable information about the accident, which can help you build your case.
  4. Take pictures of the accident scene. If possible, take pictures of the accident scene before it is cleaned up. These pictures can be helpful in showing the extent of the damage and the cause of the accident.
  5. Save all of your medical bills and other expenses. If you have any medical bills or other expenses as a result of the pedestrian accident, be sure to save them. These expenses can be used to support your personal injury claim.
  6. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you understand your legal rights and options, and can advocate on your behalf to get the compensation you deserve.
