What to Do First After a Pedestrian Accident

Get Medical Treatment

If you’ve been struck as a pedestrian in Massachusetts, the very first thing you should do if your injured is to get medical treatment. You want to make sure, however, that you get the name of the driver who hit you, because all too often the driver wants to get out of the scene and not leave their contact information with you.

Contact the Driver’s Insurance Company

Once you’ve had medical attention and you have the name of that driver, you can then make a claim against that driver’s insurance company to pay for your medical bills and your pain and suffering.

Contact a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Another critical step to take is to contact a qualified Massachusetts pedestrian accident lawyer.
