Has anyone here filed a pedestrian accident claim? Looking for advice and experiences

Hey everyone,

I was recently involved in an accident as a pedestrian and I’m trying to figure out the best way to move forward with a pedestrian accident claims. I was hit by a car while crossing at a crosswalk (with the signal), and I’ve got some injuries that are going to take a while to heal. I’ve already reported the incident to the police and have been to the hospital, but I’m not sure what the next steps are when it comes to making a claim.

For anyone who’s been through this process before:

  • How did you start your claim? Did you go through your own insurance, the driver’s, or use a solicitor/lawyer?
  • What kind of evidence did you need to provide?
  • How long did the process take, and what was the outcome?
  • Any tips for making sure I get fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain/suffering?

I’d really appreciate any advice, resources, or personal stories. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and want to make sure I do this right.

Thanks in advance!
