Hidden Injuries After Pedestrian Crashes in New Jersey
Pedestrian accidents often lead to injuries that do not always appear right away, even when someone feels stable at first. Hidden injuries such as internal trauma, head injuries, or soft tissue damage can develop hours or even days later. Medical evaluation soon after a pedestrian crash helps identify these issues early and provides important documentation for follow-up care.
Unlike vehicle occupants, pedestrians have little protection during an impact. Even a low-speed crash can cause serious harm because the body absorbs the full force of the collision. Some people may walk away with soreness, only to later discover fractures, concussions, or other injuries that require extended treatment.
Pedestrian crash injuries can also create long recovery periods. Medical bills, missed work, and physical therapy needs may become part of the months ahead. Keeping records of hospital visits, doctor recommendations, and symptoms can help make treatment easier to manage.
In these situations, a pedestrian accident attorney can help by gathering important records, answering questions about the claims process, and outlining what options may be available after a pedestrian accident. Legal guidance can also clarify how medical expenses, time away from work, or other losses might be handled, depending on the facts of the case.
