FAQ
Top Questions About Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Here are five essential Questions and Answers to consider when speaking with a Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Lafayette, LA.
What should I do immediately after a pedestrian accident?
Seek medical attention right away—even if injuries seem minor. Call the police to file an official report, gather contact information from witnesses, and take photos of the scene and your injuries if possible. These early steps create critical evidence for your claim.
Who may be liable for my pedestrian accident injuries?
Liability may fall on a negligent driver, but it can also involve additional parties such as commercial vehicle operators, ride-share companies, or even governmental entities responsible for unsafe road design or poor lighting. An attorney can help identify all possible at-fault parties.
Should I speak with the driver’s insurance company?
Not before consulting an attorney. Insurance adjusters often attempt to minimize payouts or get you to make statements that can hurt your claim. Direct their call to your attorney so your rights remain protected.
What compensation could I be entitled to?
You may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, rehabilitation costs, and future medical care. In severe cases, long-term disability or loss of earning capacity may also be included.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Deadlines vary by state, but pedestrian accident claims are governed by strict statutes of limitations—often 1 to 3 years from the date of the accident. Waiting too long may completely bar your right to recovery, so it's best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
