What to Do if You Are a Pedestrian or Bicyclist Involved in an Accident

Rochester Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

One minute you were walking in a clearly designated crosswalk and the next you were struck by a car. Or maybe you were riding your bike and a car hit you. Following the accident, you may be feeling shaken up and unsure of what to do next. The most important thing to do is seek medical attention for any injuries you may have suffered. Then, call Kammholz Messina, LLP, at 877-668-4606. We will immediately set to work building a strong case to ensure the negligent driver is held accountable.

The Accident Scene

Following the accident, write down the name of the driver and any people who witnessed the accident. It is important that you keep any documents that you receive from law enforcement or the driver such as police reports or insurance information. If possible, take photos of the accident scene. Make sure to save your bicycle as evidence.

Once you have been seen by a doctor, call Kammholz Messina, LLP, so that we can immediately begin investigating the accident. It is crucial that we conduct the investigation while the witnesses have a clear memory of the accident and the evidence is intact.

Our New York car crash attorneys understand that your opponent is going to attempt to disprove liability for the accident. We dedicate ourselves to discovering what caused the accident and to helping you secure the compensation you need and deserve.

Do Not Speak to the Insurance Company

After the accident, your insurance company or the driver's insurance company may contact you for a written or recorded statement. It is important not to speak to anyone until you have spoken to an experienced pedestrian accidents or bicycle accidents attorney about your case.

At Kammholz Messina, LLP, we understand how insurance companies operate and how to maximize the compensation you receive from them. We will handle your case from start to finish, so you can focus on healing.
