After being involved in a pedestrian accident, steps you should take to protect your legal rights and options include taking photos or video of the accident scene (or having someone do if for you if you cannot), seeking medical attention as soon as possible to diagnose the injuries you sustained and to begin treatment, and keeping records of your expenses and lost wages. In addition, you should also talk to a West Palm Beach pedestrian accident lawyer from Gonzalez & Cartwright, P.A. as soon as possible to begin the process of pursuing a legal claim for compensation.
