Taking the right steps immediately after being hit protects your health and your legal rights
Call 911 Immediately
Call for police and ambulance immediately. Even if you feel fine, adrenaline masks serious injuries. Get transported to St. Joseph's Medical Center or Chilton Medical Center for full evaluation.
Document the Scene
If physically able, take photos of your injuries, the vehicle, skid marks, the crosswalk or intersection, traffic signals, and the entire scene. Get witness contact information before they leave.
Get Driver Information
Obtain the driver's name, phone number, license plate, driver's license number, and insurance information. If the driver fled the scene (hit and run), get witness descriptions and look for surveillance cameras.
File Police Report
Ensure police file a detailed accident report. Get the report number and officer's name. The police report is critical evidence for your claim and documents the driver's fault.
Contact an Attorney Immediately
Insurance companies investigate immediately to minimize payouts. You need experienced legal representation to protect your rights and maximize compensation. Call (516) 210-6454 for a free consultation.
Don't Talk to Insurance Companies
Do NOT give recorded statements to the driver's insurance company, post on social media, or sign any medical authorizations without attorney review. They will use your words against you.
⚠️ CRITICAL: Get Medical Treatment Immediately
Pedestrian accidents cause life-threatening internal injuries that may not be immediately apparent. Head injuries, internal bleeding, and spinal damage can be fatal if untreated. Always get transported to the hospital even if you feel fine.
⚠️ Statute of Limitations: Don't Miss Your Deadline
Time limits for filing pedestrian accident claims in New Jersey are strictly enforced. Missing a deadline means losing your right to compensation forever.
2 YEARS
Personal Injury Lawsuit
New Jersey gives you 2 years from the date of the pedestrian accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim for compensation.
90 DAYS
Notice of Tort Claim (Government)
If a government vehicle was involved (NJ Transit bus, municipal bus, police car) or dangerous road conditions caused the accident, you must file a Notice of Tort Claim within 90 days.
⏰ Evidence Disappears Quickly:
Even though you have 2 years to file a lawsuit, evidence disappears fast. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses is often deleted within 7-30 days. Skid marks fade. Witnesses move away or forget details. Contact our Saddle Brook office immediately at (516) 210-6454 to preserve critical evidence.
