Pedestrian Accident Claims
Were You Injured in a Pedestrian Accident in Las Vegas?
When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, even a relatively low-speed collision can result in serious injuries and a difficult recovery. With little protection from the force of impact, victims may face extensive medical treatment, time away from work, lasting limitations, and significant financial losses.
Pedestrian accidents may involve:
- Crosswalk Accidents
- Intersection Accidents
- Parking Lot & Garage Accidents
- Hit-and-Run Accidents
- Distracted or Impaired Drivers
- Turning Vehicle Accidents
- Rideshare & Commercial Vehicles
The Courtroom Couple investigates driver behavior, traffic controls, visibility, witness accounts, available video, and other evidence to determine how the collision occurred while documenting the medical and financial impact of your injuries.
What Should You Do After a Pedestrian Accident?
The aftermath of a pedestrian accident can be confusing, especially when you are seriously injured. Your health should come first, but taking certain steps when possible can also help document what happened and preserve information that may become important to your claim.
- Get Medical Attention
Seek appropriate medical care as soon as possible, even if the full extent of your injuries is not immediately clear. Keep records of your treatment, diagnoses, medications, rehabilitation, and other care related to the accident. - Report the Accident
Contact law enforcement so the collision can be properly documented. When available, obtain the responding agency’s information, accident report number, and the driver’s contact and insurance information. - Preserve Important Evidence
If you or someone with you can safely do so, take photographs or video of the scene, vehicle, injuries, crosswalks, traffic signals, and surrounding conditions. Gather witness contact information and note any nearby businesses, surveillance cameras, or traffic cameras that may have captured the collision. - Keep Important Records
Save medical bills and records, receipts, missed-work documentation, insurance communications, and other information related to the financial impact of your injuries. Keeping these materials organized can help document the full effect the accident has had on you.
What Does It Take to Build a Pedestrian Accident Claim?
Pedestrian accident cases can involve serious injuries and disputed questions about how the collision occurred. Determining responsibility may require examining the driver’s actions, the location of the collision, traffic controls, visibility, witness accounts, available video, and other evidence. When injuries are severe, it is also important to understand how they may affect your medical needs, ability to work, and everyday life in the future.
