Overview

Pedestrian accidents often result in devastating injuries because people on foot have little protection against the force of a moving vehicle.

Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to law enforcement, document what you can, and avoid discussing the case with insurance companies before understanding your rights.

Can I still bring a claim if I was not in a marked crosswalk?

Depending on the case, compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, future care needs, and other damages related to the injury.
