A pedestrian accident in Massachusetts can involve more than the driver’s version of what happened. Crosswalk and right-of-way rules, PIP coverage, and the actions of both the driver and pedestrian can affect your claim. Massachusetts PIP can provide up to $8,000 per person, though PIP pays only the first $2,000 if you have health insurance, while evidence from the crash can help establish who was responsible.

If a vehicle hits you while crossing a street, using a crosswalk, or walking along a roadway, the circumstances of the crash matter. Your claim may depend on whether the driver failed to yield, was speeding, distracted, or violating a traffic or crosswalk rule.

After a pedestrian accident, quick action can protect your health, preserve evidence, and support your Massachusetts injury claim. Follow these steps after the crash:
Look for serious injuries, bleeding or other symptoms requiring immediate medical attention.
Get away from traffic or other dangers if you can do so safely without worsening your injuries.
Report the accident and request an official police report, especially if you were injured in a marked crosswalk.
Photograph your injuries, the vehicle, crosswalk, traffic signals, road conditions, and the accident scene.
Seek medical care promptly. Massachusetts PIP may qualify medical expenses and lost income.
Collect the driver’s name, insurance information, license plate, vehicle details, and contact information.
Ask witnesses for their names and contact information while they are still at the scene.
Speak with a pedestrian accident lawyer before giving statements or signing forms.

Possibly. Massachusetts law may still allow you to recover compensation if you were partly at fault. The amount you recover depends on the facts of your case and how responsibility is determined.
Yes. You may still have legal options after a hit-and-run accident. Police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, and available insurance coverage may help support your claim.
It can. Insurance premiums may increase after a pedestrian accident, depending on who was at fault, the severity of the injuries, and your insurer's policies.
Massachusetts law sets a deadline for filing personal injury claims. Missing that deadline may prevent you from recovering compensation, so it's important to act promptly.
Not always. Whether criminal charges apply depends on the circumstances of the accident. Factors such as reckless driving, intoxication, or leaving the scene may lead to more serious charges.
Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, unsafe turns, impaired driving, and drivers ignoring traffic signals or crosswalks.
You may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and other accident-related damages.
The charges depend on the facts of the accident. Traffic violations, reckless driving, impaired driving, or leaving the scene may result in civil liability, criminal charges, or both.
You may have the right to pursue compensation if another party's negligence caused the accident. An investigation can determine who was responsible, and what damages may be available.
Stop immediately, call 911, and report the accident. Exchange information, cooperate with law enforcement, and notify your insurance company. Avoid admitting fault before the facts are fully investigated.
A fatal pedestrian accident may lead to both civil and criminal proceedings. Eligible family members may also have the right to pursue compensation through a wrongful death claim.
You should still stop, report the accident, and notify law enforcement. Some injuries are not immediately apparent, and leaving without reporting the incident may have legal consequences.
Liability depends on how the accident occurred. A negligent driver is often responsible, but an employer, commercial vehicle owner, property owner, government entity, or another party may also share liability.
Ged Lawyers helps pedestrian accident victims seek compensation for medical bills, missed paychecks, and crash-related losses.
