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

After being struck by a vehicle in Haverhill, the most important first step is to ensure that medical evaluation is thorough and that follow-up care is pursued consistently, even when initial injuries appear manageable.

Pedestrians struck by vehicles have no physical protection in a collision, and the forces involved can cause internal injuries, head trauma, and soft tissue damage that may not produce clear symptoms until hours after the crash. A comprehensive medical evaluation creates a record that directly connects any emerging conditions to the collision, which can be essential if a legal claim is later pursued under Massachusetts law.

Once medical care is underway, documenting the crash and its aftermath becomes the next priority. This includes obtaining a copy of the police report as soon as it is available, photographing any visible injuries, and gathering contact information from any witnesses who were present at the scene. The financial impact of a pedestrian injury can be particularly significant if the crash results in time away from work, educational disruptions, or limitations on daily activities during recovery.

Keeping detailed records of all medical visits, related expenses, and any lost income or opportunities tied to the injuries builds a thorough record that supports any future claim.

Massachusetts' no-fault insurance system allows pedestrians hurt by a vehicle to access personal injury protection benefits through the driver's insurance policy, covering medical expenses and a portion of lost income regardless of fault. However, when injuries are serious enough to meet the state's defined threshold for stepping outside the no-fault system, a direct liability claim against the at-fault driver may also be available.

A pedestrian accident lawyer in Massachusetts may be able to help understand how those thresholds apply to their specific situation, identify all applicable insurance coverage, and ensure that any resolution reached reflects the full scope of their losses.
