Auto/Pedestrian Accident Update
I was recently involved in a car accident while crossing at a designated crosswalk. I was adhering to the traffic signals when a driver unexpectedly made a turn and struck me, and fortunately, my toddler was safely buckled into a stroller at the time. Today, I spoke with the insurance adjuster, who gathered details about the medical expenses I’ve incurred and the care I’ve received.
I’m wondering if I should prepare a list of items that were damaged in the accident for my next conversation with him. Would it be wise to consider hiring a lawyer to navigate this situation? Any advice would be appreciated!
I’m really sorry to hear about your accident—I’m glad to hear you and your toddler are okay. It’s definitely a good idea to make a list of everything that was damaged in the accident, including any personal items and the stroller, as this can help the adjuster assess the full extent of your losses.
Regarding whether to hire a lawyer, it can often be beneficial, especially if you sustained injuries or if there are complications with the insurance claim. A lawyer can help ensure you receive fair compensation and handle all the legal aspects for you. If you have any doubts about the process or feel overwhelmed, consulting with a lawyer for advice can be a smart step. Make sure you take care of yourself and your little one during this time!
