Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Pedestrian Accidents

How often do people in Massachusetts file pedestrian accident claims?

In 2023 alone, 69 pedestrians were killed in accidents across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This accounts for 20% of all traffic collisions. The prior year, 101 pedestrians died in the state’s all time high. It’s unclear how many of these families filed for compensation, or how many pedestrians brought forward a lawsuit for injuries.

How can I prepare for the possibility of a pedestrian accident?

Knowing in advance what you should do after being hurt in a pedestrian accident can help you stay calm and do everything you need to if it happens. Immediately after the collision, make sure you:

Get medical help right away, even if you don’t feel injured
Take pictures of the scene and your injuries or have someone else do so for you
Get copies of your medical records from each hospital or doctor that you see
Contact a personal injury attorney as early on in the process as possible to help secure evidence and ensure the other side follows the law

How to Help Someone Who Has Been in a Pedestrian Accident

What shouldn’t I do after a pedestrian accident?

If you or someone you love are hit by a car, you should never:

Wait to see a doctor. The other side can use this information against you to insinuate that you are faking your injuries.
Talk to the driver. Do not tell the driver who hit you that you are okay or apologize for walking in the road. Just get their insurance and contact information and let them know your attorney will be in touch.
Leave without talking to witnesses. If there were any witnesses at the scene, it’s crucial to get their contact information or a statement that can later be used to help prove what happened and who was at fault.

What’s the #1 Misconception People Have About Car-Pedestrian Accidents?

What do I do about my medical bills after a pedestrian accident?

Can I file a pedestrian accident claim by myself?
