Determining Liability After a Pedestrian Accident
In addition to physical and property damage, an accident victim may feel very frustrated upon receiving a denial of liability from the at-fault party’s insurance provider. If that is your case, we promise to talk about the experience with you until all your questions have been answered:
- How can you prove it was the driver’s fault?
- How will your medical bills get paid?
- What are your legal options?
- What happens if you’re too injured to work?
The best way to prove liability is to take photos or videos of the scene, of your injuries, and any further damage. Next, write down the names and contact information of anyone who might have witnessed your pedestrian accident. Finally, you should keep a detailed log of every medical provider you see for your injuries. These three things can go a long way in ensuring you receive fair compensation for your injuries.
An experienced Advocate will have familiarity with all of the frequent pedestrian accident causes and be able to assist in proving you were not at fault.
