Following the day of the accident, The Jones Firm explains that communicating regularly with their insurance company and their auto accident or personal injury attorney will be important.
Because of the frequently serious effects of a pedestrian and auto accident, typically on the part of the pedestrian, there is usually a long legal process that will follow. Proper medical examinations, claims, and establishing of responsibility will usually be a complex and lengthy procedure.
“An accident involving pedestrians is a truly traumatic experience for everyone,” says The Jones Firm, “While in some cases, it may be entirely the fault of the driver, it may be the fault of the pedestrian—or a combination of both. Sorting out the fault and responsibility for damage and injuries is a difficult and complex task and one that you shouldn’t set out on alone.”
