What to Do After a Pedestrian Hit-and-Run in New Jersey
Being struck by a vehicle is a
traumatic experience, and when the driver flees the scene, the situation becomes even more overwhelming. Pedestrian hit-and-run accidents in New Jersey can leave victims and families unsure of what steps to take next. If you or a loved one is involved in such an incident, here are important actions to consider:
- Seek immediate medical attention: Even if injuries seem minor, it is essential to consult with healthcare professionals. Some injuries, such as concussions or internal bleeding, may not be obvious right away.
- Call 911 and report the crash: Police will document the scene, collect evidence, and attempt to locate the fleeing driver. An official police report is also critical for insurance and potential legal claims.
- Gather information if possible: If you are able, or if witnesses are present, try to note details such as the vehicle’s color, make, model, license plate, or direction of travel. This information can help investigators.
- Look for nearby cameras: Many intersections, businesses, or homes in New Jersey have surveillance systems that may have captured the accident. Police can use this footage in their investigation.
- Contact your insurance company: Even if the driver is not identified, you may still have options for coverage through your uninsured motorist policy.
- Consult with a pedestrian accident lawyer: A New Jersey attorney can help you navigate the claims process, deal with insurance companies, and explore all possible avenues for compensation, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Pedestrian hit-and-run cases are complex, but victims have rights. Acting quickly and knowing the right steps can make a significant difference in recovery and justice. That is why seeking help from a pedestrian accident lawyer can give you peace of mind and guide you through the legal process during this difficult time.
