Pedestrian accidents are more common than you may realize. In fact, approximately 110,000 pedestrians are injured each year in the United States, and almost 60,000 people die as a result of their injuries. Of those deaths, 41% of fatal pedestrian accidents occur between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Children and elderly citizens are most at risk of being involved in a pedestrian accident.

The most common factors contributing to pedestrian accidents are driver negligence, driver inattention, failure to observe speed limits, failure to yield to pedestrians and driving under the influence of alcohol.

If you are involved in a pedestrian accident, there are several extremely important things that you must remember to do immediately following the incident. Valuable evidence and witness collaboration may be crucial in determining the cause of the accident and can often be lost if not documented properly and accurately.

Here are the steps that you should take:

• Call the police immediately and do not leave the scene of the accident before help arrives.
• Document the name, address, insurance, information, vehicle license number and driver's license number of any and all other people involved in the accident.
• Get the names, addresses and phone numbers of all witnesses.
• Note the time of day, weather conditions, driving conditions, road construction, etc.
• Make sure you go to an emergency room or see your doctor as soon as possible. Describe all of your injuries and do not leave anything out. Even an injury that may appear to be minor at the time can lead to severe complications in the future.
• Call an experienced and reputable personal injury law firm immediately.
• Never discuss the accident or any injuries to the negligent driver or his insurance company or lawyer. Refer all enquiries to your attorney.
• Never offer “theories” of what might have happened. Do not agree to sign any statements before consulting your attorney.

If you are a pedestrian who has been involved in an accident, you may be able to file a claim against the negligent driver to recover all of your damages including property damage, medical costs, personal suffering, future losses and, in some cases, punitive damages. Never proceed with a negligence claim without first obtaining legal advice.
