VEHICLE VS. PEDESTRIAN What You Need to Know
When you’re involved in a vehicle versus pedestrian accident, it can be one of the scariest moments of your life. But even when a peaceful evening turns chaotic, it’s crucial to know how to respond to these types of situations.
FIRST THING’S FIRST If you’re struck by a vehicle, your safety takes priority over anything else. Visiting a medical professional is essential, even when your injuries don’t appear serious at first. Additionally, you should contact the police directly after the incident, as well as take photographs of the car, any injury on your person, and the area. Be sure to get the names and numbers of any witnesses who saw the accident happen, and give your insurance company a call. THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY There are a few factors when it comes to who’s at fault in a vehicle versus pedestrian accident. Often, the driver of the car is to blame, but it can vary depending on where the accident occurs. In a situation where
a pedestrian crosses the street against a traffic light, they could be to blame. However, pedestrians still have a high chance of filing and winning a claim against the driver, especially if the driver wasn’t paying attention. According to Florida Law, all drivers need to be aware of their surroundings, including other drivers and pedestrians. A HIT AND RUN An accident when a driver does not stop after striking a pedestrian complicates the process for the victim. In these situations, it’s critical to inform the police about it as soon as you possibly can so that they can start investigating. Ask any witnesses for their contact information and names that may help find the perpetrator. If the driver is found, take some time to
speak to a personal injury attorney about what steps you should consider moving forward.
