Why Choose Our Fountain Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Insurance adjusters handle claims like yours all day. They know how their company values an injury, and they know the arguments that shift blame onto the person who was walking, because a pedestrian who gets blamed gets paid less.
We have been answering those arguments since 1996. Our attorneys know how adjusters build a file, what gets left out when they value a claim, and how to push back with evidence instead of hope. That experience is shared across the firm, and it shows up in every case we take.

We’re proud to support our neighbors, service members, and injury victims throughout this area.

The moments after being struck by a vehicle are confusing, and most people aren’t thinking about a legal claim. That’s normal, and nobody expects you to handle everything perfectly. That said, there are several simple steps you can take right after the incident to support your recovery and your claim for compensation.
If you’re able, or if someone is there to help you, taking these steps makes a real difference:
- Call 911 so police and paramedics respond, and a report gets written
- Stay where you are and wait for help rather than trying to walk it off
- Get examined even if you think you’re fine. Some head and internal injuries may not cause noticeable symptoms immediately
- Write down the driver’s name and insurance information
- Take photos of the vehicle and your injuries
- Ask nearby witnesses for their names and phone numbers before they leave
- Keep the clothing and shoes you were wearing without washing or repairing them
- Decline to give a recorded statement to the driver’s insurance company
- Follow through on every medical appointment and keep copies of your treatment bills and other related records
- Get in touch with an experienced pedestrian accident attorney in Fountain ASAP
