What To Do After Being Hit by a Car as a Pedestrian in New Mexico

After a pedestrian accident in New Mexico, the first step is to seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor at first. Medical evaluations can identify hidden injuries and create records that may become important during treatment, insurance claims, or legal reviews later.

Pedestrian accidents often happen near hotels, shopping areas, parking lots, and busy intersections throughout Bernalillo County and New Mexico. Drivers and pedestrians in these areas must navigate crosswalks, entrances, turning vehicles, and changing traffic conditions that can increase the risk of collisions.

People struck by vehicles may suffer shoulder injuries, broken ribs, head trauma, leg injuries, or back pain after the impact. Some symptoms may appear hours later, especially after adrenaline wears off. Keeping photographs of injuries, medical paperwork, prescriptions, and accident-related expenses may help organize important information connected to the crash.

A Bernalillo personal injury lawyer can help injured pedestrians understand how insurance coverage, medical bills, and liability laws apply after a New Mexico accident. An attorney can also review police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, and other evidence connected to the collision.
