What To Do After A Bike Or Pedestrian Accident
After a crash, your priority is getting medical attention – even if you feel okay. We also recommend taking the following actions, if possible:
- Call 911 and file a police report
- Get contact and insurance information from the driver
- Take photos of the scene, your injuries and any damage
- Collect witness names and contact information
- Avoid making statements to the other party’s insurance company
These steps can help strengthen your personal injury case and give your attorney a clearer picture of what happened.
