That said, we turn now to what most of you probably are interested: What to do if an accident? Obviously, call 911 if someone is injured and apply first aid. But we are talking about what to do after the initial panic.

The number one thing should focus on everything that is written down. Every detail you can remember about the accident must be written on paper. The type of injuries he has received must be documented, and any other effect of the accident, such as lost wages due to injuries. Also, try to see exactly what the other party involved in the accident said, when you spoke to them.

If you plan to file a claim, be sure to collect evidence. Photographs, witnesses, anything and everything that can be used to build your case. Pedestrian accidents often occur in broad daylight and usually busy roads. It is usual that a large number of witnesses around, try to write down the names and phone numbers of as many as you can.

Finally try to contact a pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible. Many states have a statute of limitations on the time elapsed between the accident and the date on which the complaint. A good accident lawyer must know everything about this, and help you not only to lodge a complaint with the statute, but also do everything possible immediately after the accident that could help decide who was to blame.
