What you do right after the crash can affect how your case is understood later.
- Get medical care right away (even if symptoms seem mild). Delayed reporting can give insurers room to argue the injuries weren’t caused by the collision.
- Document the scene while you can: vehicle position, traffic control (signals/signage), crosswalk markings, lighting conditions, and anything affecting visibility.
- Write down details: time of day, weather, what you were doing, and what you remember about the driver’s actions.
- Save receipts and work records: prescriptions, copays, transportation to appointments, and missed work are not “small”—they add up.
- Be careful with statements to insurance. Quick answers can accidentally create contradictions.
If you’re tempted to use an “AI pedestrian accident legal bot” to draft your story, treat it as a support tool—not a substitute for evidence-based case building.
