What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident
After being struck by a vehicle while walking, it’s vital to take immediate steps to protect your health and your legal rights. Here’s what to focus on:
Seek Medical Attention
Your health comes first. Even if your injuries seem minor, visit an emergency room or your doctor as soon as possible. Prompt documentation helps connect your injuries to the crash.
Document the Scene
If you are able, take photos of the vehicle that hit you, the crosswalk or intersection, and any visible injuries. These images can help establish liability and dangerous conditions.
Collect Witness Information
Get names and contact details of anyone who saw the incident. Independent witness statements are powerful evidence in pedestrian-accident claims.
Consult a Provo Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
An experienced lawyer can explain your rights, handle communications with insurers, and help you pursue full compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages and pain. Reach out for a free consultation before you accept any settlement offer.
Provo Pedestrian Accident FAQs
What should I do after a pedestrian accident in Provo?
Call 911 to report the collision and get medical help. If possible, take photos of the crash scene and obtain the driver’s contact and insurance information. Notify your insurer, but avoid making statements to the driver’s insurer without legal counsel.
How long do I have to file a claim in Utah?
Utah’s statute of limitations generally gives injured pedestrians four years to file a personal injury lawsuit. For fatal accidents, surviving family members have two years to file a wrongful-death claim. It’s best to consult a lawyer soon after the accident so evidence doesn’t disappear.
Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Utah follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.
What damages can I recover after a pedestrian accident?
Pedestrian-accident victims may pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, future medical care, pain and suffering, and other losses related to the crash. Families of deceased victims can seek funeral expenses and loss of companionship.
Will my case go to court?
Most pedestrian-accident cases settle out of court through negotiations with insurance companies. But if insurers refuse to offer fair compensation, your attorney will be prepared to file a lawsuit and represent you at trial.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
"Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again."
“Unbelievable work!”
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”

Gather evidence, interview witnesses, and assess the circumstances surrounding the accident to establish facts and liability.
Determine the extent of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
