What Happens After a Pedestrian-Motorist Collision?
Pedestrian-motorist collisions can be reviewed using several types of information. Investigators may examine traffic signals, crosswalk markings, signs, and the positions of vehicles and people involved. Witness accounts can also help establish what happened before the collision.
Vehicle damage and photographs may provide additional clues about the direction and force of the contact. Nearby surveillance cameras can sometimes offer a clearer view of traffic movement.
Medical records may also document the severity of injuries and the treatment provided. Weather, visibility, lighting, and traffic flow can be considered when determining the circumstances surrounding a pedestrian collision. These factors can help create a clearer timeline and explain how the roadway was being used at the time.
