If you’re hit by a car the first thing you should do is seek medical attention. Even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured it’s important to get checked out by a doctor or go to the emergency room. Once you’re sure you’re okay you can start thinking about what to do next.
If the accident was caused by the other driver you may want to file a police report and/or a claim with their insurance company. If you have your own insurance you may also want to file a claim with them. Either way it’s important to collect evidence to support your claim including photos of the accident scene and any injuries you sustained as well as witness statements.
If you’re not sure what to do or who to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer can help. They can review the facts of your case and advise you on the best course of action whether it’s filing a claim negotiating with the insurance companies or taking the driver to court.
