Pedestrian Accident
New Hampshire Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
New Hampshire boasts charming cities and towns, creating an ideal place to live and a delightful destination for visitors. The state’s many small towns offer an inviting setting that is perfect for pedestrians to explore on foot. However, when traffic and pedestrians coexist, it can become a hazardous environment for individuals on foot.
Essential Steps for Health and Legal Protection
In the event of a car-pedestrian accident, it is important to take the following actions to safeguard both your health and your legal rights:
Call 911 if you or anyone else is seriously injured
Summon local law enforcement to the scene
Exchange contact information with all parties involved including witnesses
Take pictures of your injuries, damages to the vehicle and anything else that might help tell the story
Refrain from discussing who’s at fault and what legal options are available to you
Contact your car insurance provider
Seek Medical Attention
In the aftermath of such incidents, to continue to safeguard both your health and legal rights, it is crucial to promptly seek proper medical attention and ensure that your injuries and subsequent medical treatment are thoroughly documented. This documentation serves as vital evidence in any potential legal proceedings related to the pedestrian accident. Insurance adjusters and juries often assume that if immediate medical attention was not sought, then the injuries may not be severe.
Who Pays for Your Medical Expenses?
In New Hampshire, the person that is at fault and/or their insurance typically pays for all accident related losses. Related loss may include medical expenses, income lost as a result of missed work, and pain, suffering. If a car hit you in a pedestrian accident, you may have a claim against multiple parties. Parties that may be liable after an accident typically include:
The individuals operating the vehicles in the accident
The owners of the vehicles involved in the accident, in cases where they differ from the drivers
The employer of the driver if the accident occurred while the driver was on company business
The pedestrian's auto and health insurance providers
Any party contributing to the accident (e.g., a government agency responsible for improper road or crosswalk signal maintenance)
