What Should Pedestrians Know After a Vehicle Collision?
Pedestrians involved in a vehicle collision may experience injuries even when they remain awake and alert immediately afterward. Some problems may not become clear until later, so medical attention can help identify injuries and document the person’s condition. Information about the vehicle, traffic signals, crosswalk markings, lighting, and road surface may also help establish what happened.
Witness accounts can provide another source of information about how the vehicles and pedestrian were moving before the collision. Photos of visible injuries, clothing, the surrounding roadway, and vehicle damage can preserve details that may change over time. Keeping records of medical visits and related expenses can also help maintain an accurate account of the harm caused by the accident.
