Important Evidence for Pedestrian Accident Cases

Some of the key pieces of evidence that can help in a pedestrian accident claim are: 

• Police Reports: These provide official details about how the crash occurred and whether any traffic violations were involved. 
• Photos or Videos: Visual evidence from the scene, including images of injuries, vehicle damage, and road conditions, can be powerful in demonstrating what happened. 
• Surveillance or Dashcam Footage: If available, video footage from nearby businesses or vehicles involved can provide a clear view of the accident, helping to establish who’s at fault. 
• Witness Statements: Eyewitness accounts support your version of events and reinforce the validity of your claim. 
• Medical Records: Detailed injury documentation is crucial for demonstrating the accident’s negative effect on your health and life.

We carefully investigate pedestrian accidents, ensuring we gather all the necessary information to build a strong case for you. 

How Evidence Impacts Your Case

Evidence helps prove fault, demonstrate injury severity, and calculate fair compensation. The more comprehensive your evidence, the stronger your case will be.
