Pedestrian Accidents in New Jersey
Pedestrian crashes in New Jersey can turn a normal afternoon into a medical emergency within seconds. When several vehicles collide, the risk to people walking nearby rises sharply. The force of a multi-car impact can push a vehicle onto a sidewalk or into a crosswalk with little warning. Because pedestrians have no physical protection, even a low-speed strike can cause serious harm.
If you are involved in a pedestrian crash or witness one, taking the right steps can protect health and preserve important evidence. Here are actions victims and families should follow after these accidents:
- Call 911 right away and request medical help, even if injuries seem minor.
- Accept treatment at the scene and follow doctors’ instructions during recovery.
- If you can, move to a safe spot away from traffic to avoid another strike.
- Ask the police for the report number and the responding department’s contact details.
- Get names and phone numbers of any witnesses who saw what happened.
- Take photos of the vehicles, the roadway, nearby signs, and visible injuries.
- Save all medical records, bills, and proof of missed work.
- Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers until you understand your rights.
These steps matter because pedestrian claims often involve competing stories. Insurance companies may try to shift blame onto the person who was hit. Clear records, strong medical documentation, and witness support can help show what truly happened.
Many victims face long recoveries after pedestrian crashes. They may need emergency care, surgery, physical therapy, and follow-up visits. Some cannot work for weeks or months. A pedestrian accident attorney can handle communication with insurers, gather video or traffic evidence, and fight for fair compensation. A claim may cover medical costs, lost income, pain, emotional distress, and future care needs.
