What to Do After Your Pedestrian Accident in Prattville
Immediately after your accident, you should check yourself for injuries and see if you can move to a safe location. If you cannot move, stay put. Call for emergency services if you can, or ask someone else to call for you. While you wait, you can
- Take pictures and videos of the accident scene
- See if there are any cameras we can use later
- Record what you remember before being hit
- Exchange contact information with eyewitnesses and the driver
When the police arrive, provide them with what you know, but don’t make assumptions or accusations. You should inform the insurance companies about the accident, too, but do not admit fault.
If you have not gone to the emergency room, see your doctor as soon as possible and follow their orders entirely.
Finally, contact us. We can speak on your behalf and start developing a personal injury case for you while you recover.
Our Prattville Pedestrian Accident Attorney Will Investigate and Develop Your Collision Case
Pedestrian accidents are frequently the fault of a careless or reckless motorist. Alabama law protects pedestrians in areas where motor vehicles and pedestrians cross paths, such as crosswalks and intersections. When a driver violates a traffic law meant to protect pedestrians, this can cause a collision and serious injuries for the individual on foot.
Some of the causes of pedestrian collisions include:
- Failing to stop for a pedestrian in the crosswalk
- Failure to yield when turning left across traffic
- Failure to yield when turning right
- Failure to look for pedestrians before turning into or out of a parking lot or driveway
- Failure to stop for a traffic signal when required (running a red light)
Contributing factors to these accidents include:
- Speeding: Drivers who are speeding have less time to see and react to a pedestrian crossing the road.
- Distracted Driving: Distracted driving may prevent the driver from seeing someone crossing the street.
- Drunk or Drugged Driving: Drugs and alcohol can impair decision-making and slow reaction time, leading to an accident.
- Aggressive Driving: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as speeding or changing lanes quickly, can make it more difficult to see and react to a pedestrian.
- Drowsy Driving: Drowsy driving can be as dangerous as drunk driving since it slows reaction time and impairs good decision-making ability.
Our attorney investigates these crashes to determine what happened, who is at fault, and what led to the collision. Strong evidence from this investigation often allows our team to negotiate or litigate successfully and recover the compensation our client needs.
What Damages Can a Prattville Pedestrian Crash Lawyer Pursue in Your Case?
Each case is unique. Victims have unique injuries and require personalized treatment plans to help them heal. Those hurt in Prattville receive care at Prattville Baptist Hospital, but others may require care at a trauma center, such as the Level II trauma center at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery, AL.
Serious and even catastrophic injuries are not unusual for pedestrians hit by negligent drivers. These life-altering injuries affect all aspects of their lives and require significant compensation to cover the costs. When an injured pedestrian has to recover from a brain injury or has lasting impairments because of a spinal cord injury, their financial stress may make it difficult to focus on treatment, rehabilitation, and physical recovery.
This is where our Prattville pedestrian accident lawyer steps in. We take on the legal case so our client can work fully on their injury recovery. We document damages and seek fair compensation for a wide range of expenses and losses, including:
- Medical care costs, today and in the future
- Lost income for time missed at work
- Diminished earning ability for lasting injuries and new impairments
- Repair or replacement of damaged personal property
- Related expenses
- Pain and suffering and other losses that are intangible in nature
Let our team assess your case and explain your options.
