Preserving Evidence after a Pedestrian Accident
Proof of your injury following a pedestrian accident is not enough to recover the compensation to which you are entitled. You will also need evidence showing how, why, and when you were injured. This evidence is best if collected immediately following the accident, and it can be obtained by interviewing witnesses to the accident, photographing and documenting your injuries, and creating a record of the accident scene. For more information on preserving evidence, please visit our Preserving Evidence Page.
