Being struck by a vehicle can be overwhelming, even if injuries don’t seem serious right away. The first priority is always medical care. Getting evaluated at the scene or shortly after is important, as some injuries like head trauma or internal injuries may not show symptoms immediately.

If you’re able, documenting the scene can help later on. This may include photos of the location, the vehicle involved, and any visible injuries, as well as gathering contact information from the driver and any witnesses. Police typically create a report, which can be an important part of the process.

In Massachusetts, insurance coverage may apply through the driver’s policy, and in some cases, your own coverage may also come into play depending on the situation. Because pedestrian accidents can involve different types of claims, insurance companies often review details carefully before making decisions.

You may be contacted by insurance representatives after the incident. It’s important to provide accurate information, but you don’t have to rush into detailed statements before you’ve had time to assess your condition.

Follow-up care is also key. Symptoms can develop over time, so attending medical appointments and tracking how you feel in the days after the crash can help support recovery and proper documentation.

If you’ve been injured as a pedestrian, having someone guide you through the next steps can make things easier. A lawyer can help handle insurance communication, keep your records organized, and make sure your case is moving forward while you focus on your recovery.
