With our help, you may be able to file a pedestrian injury lawsuit to seek compensation for medical treatment and any other expenses directly related to your accident.

Steps to Take After Pedestrian Accidents

Since pedestrians lack the protection of a motor vehicle such as a car or SUV, their injuries tend to be very severe. The more serious the injury, the more money insurance companies will have to pay out. That being said, insurance companies are in the business of making money, and their goal is to hold onto as much of it as possible. Having an attorney on your side helps to even the playing field and means that you will have someone who is watching out for your rights every step of the way.   

Our attorneys are well aware of the various tactics insurers will use to undermine your claim. To protect your pedestrian injury lawsuit, we advise that you do the following:

• Call the police. 
• Seek medical treatment, even if you feel as if your injuries are not severe. Internal bleeding, for example, may not be immediately noticeable.
• Take photos of the accident scene if you are capable, or ask someone with a cellphone to take photos. Be sure to get pictures of the vehicle involved, the road conditions, and any visible injuries.
• Get contact information from witnesses. Jot down license plate numbers and ask for phone numbers and email addresses.
• Contact an Ohio personal injury attorney at 440-333-3800.

It’s best that you contact an attorney as soon as possible so crucial evidence can be gathered and preserved to build a solid claim on your behalf.
