Pedestrian Struck by Vehicle on Main St in Waltham, MA

Waltham, MA (June 22, 2026) – A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on Main Street in Waltham on Sunday evening, June 21.

While emergency personnel assessed the pedestrian, the driver stayed on the scene. The pedestrian's injuries were not immediately known when he was taken to a nearby hospital.

In the initial report on the accident, authorities did not confirm any additional information regarding the crash's circumstances or the identities of those involved. The investigation is still in progress. 

We hope the hurt person makes a full recovery.

What Should You Do After Being Struck by a Vehicle in Waltham, MA?

The most important first step after being hit by a car in Waltham is to get a full medical evaluation as soon as possible, even if the extent of your injuries is not immediately obvious. 

In a collision with a motor vehicle, pedestrians have no physical protection, and the forces involved can cause internal injuries, head trauma, and soft tissue damage, which may not be apparent for hours after the crash. A prompt medical evaluation establishes a record that directly links any emerging conditions to the collision, which can be critical if a legal claim is later filed under Massachusetts law.

Another important early step is obtaining the driver's insurance information and contact details directly from the police report once it becomes available. This documentation establishes the foundation for pursuing a claim against the at-fault driver's liability coverage. Additionally, gathering contact information from any witnesses who saw the crash occur and photographing the scene if safely possible helps build a thorough record of what happened before details begin to fade.

Aside from the immediate steps, understanding the full financial scope of a pedestrian injury is essential before any settlement is discussed. Medical expenses, future care costs, lost income during recovery, and the overall impact of injuries on a person's daily life are all types of damages that may be recoverable under Massachusetts law, depending on the specific circumstances.

A pedestrian accident lawyer may be able to help an injured pedestrian identify all relevant insurance coverage, navigate Massachusetts' no-fault and liability rules, and ensure that any resolution reached reflects the full scope of their losses before any settlement is accepted.
