Frequently Asked Questions
What should a pedestrian do immediately after being hit by a vehicle?
Anyone struck by a car should get medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor at first. Adrenaline can mask pain from fractures or internal injuries, so an evaluation is important before assuming everything is fine.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
In Pennsylvania, as in most states, pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk generally have the right of way over vehicles. Drivers are required to stop or yield, though pedestrians should still watch for oncoming traffic before stepping into the roadway.
What injuries are most common in pedestrian crashes?
Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer broken bones, head injuries, and soft tissue damage to the legs and hips, since the lower body usually absorbs the initial impact. Severity depends heavily on vehicle speed and where the person is struck.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Shrewsbury Township, Pennsylvania
If you or someone nearby is involved in a pedestrian crash, call 911 right away so emergency crews can respond. Try to stay still until medical personnel arrive, even if you think you can walk away, since some injuries take time to show symptoms. If you witness a crash, note what you saw, including the direction of travel and any details about the vehicle, and share that information with responding officers. Follow up with your own doctor in the days afterward, since swelling, bruising, or stiffness can appear after the initial shock wears off. Keeping a record of medical visits and any instructions from first responders can help later, whether for insurance purposes or simply tracking your own recovery.
