If you’re a frequent pedestrian, you should know what to do if you’re hit by a car while you’re walking or navigating your mobility device. If you’re seriously injured, you should wait in place for assistance. If you have a cell phone available, call 911. If not, ask a bystander to make the call and ask for an ambulance and a police officer. The authorities will create a report that formalizes the incident and documents your injuries.
If your injuries are minor and you feel comfortable in your surroundings, perform a few simple tasks so you can help document the accident and preserve the evidence.
