Mistakes To Avoid After a Pedestrian Accident

Answer:

Often, I talk to clients who have been involved in a pedestrian accident. They’re walking across the street in a marked crosswalk, and a driver in a vehicle is not paying attention and runs them over. One of the things that these victims are worried about is not wanting to mess this up. They want to know what they need to do. The first thing I always say is it’s a good thing the police were called, and we have a police report. The next good thing you did was contact somebody like me, a personal injury trial attorney. A personal injury trial attorney knows what information to look for, the traffic cams, police reports, witness statements, driver history reports. We’re going to go out and start collecting this information, this evidence, as quickly as possible, to make sure that we don’t lose it to time. That’s the most important thing you can do. The biggest mistake you can make is not hiring an attorney, thinking the attorney is too expensive or it’s going to take too long if you hire an attorney, when really, our goal is to maximize what we can put in your pocket as a result of this incident that you didn’t ask for. What do you do? How do you fix it? That’s what we do. We want to focus on making sure that you don’t make any mistakes by making the best decision by calling someone like us, personal injury trial attorneys.
