You Deserve Fair Compensation After a Collision

When you think of compensation, the first thing that comes to mind might be reimbursement for your financial losses, such as medical expenses, loss of wages, and loss of earning capacity. These are all critical components of your settlement, and your attorney can fight hard for these economic damages.

You could also qualify for another type of compensation called non-economic damages. This money will cover such physical and psychological losses as pain and suffering, loss of consortium, disability, and reduced quality of life.

Most personal injury settlements include a combination of both economic and non-economic damages.

If you want help pursuing these and other damages, our law firm can put you in touch with a pedestrian injury attorney in your area. This way, you can be confident that you are asking for all of the compensation you deserve.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident

The actions you take after a collision matter, but do not panic or assume you have no case if you did not precisely follow the list below. No one expects you to have a “perfect” response to a collision. Our law firm partners may still be able to help you.

By far, the most important thing you can do for yourself is to see a doctor immediately. Nothing matters more than your health. Seeking prompt medical care can also show the insurance company that you really were injured and that your injuries were caused by the accident.

Other important steps include:

• Calling 911 to alert the local authorities or the Massachusetts State Police about the crash
• Asking the driver who hit you for their contact and insurance information
• Taking photos of your injuries, the vehicle that hit you, and the general environment
• Saving copies of all materials connected with the crash, such as medical bills
• Telling the insurance company that you will not sign or agree to anything until you have consulted with a lawyer

Although Massachusetts law says that motor vehicles are supposed to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, you cannot trust that all drivers will obey this law in all circumstances. Take proper precautions (such as looking both ways before crossing the street and using sidewalks) when you can. If you were injured regardless, The Goldwater Law Firm and our co-counsel are here for you.
