Immediate investigation and preservation of evidence is often a critical element in proving a personal injury and wrongful death cases involving pedestrians. Investigation may involve examination of the scene of the accident and the gathering of witness statements. After a pedestrian accident, it is also critical for your lawyer to establish contact with the investigating authorities, such as the local and state police. If you or a family member has been injured, you should not give statements to insurance investigators before you are represented by an attorney who will protect your rights.
