What Should I Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Powell, TN?

After a pedestrian accident in Powell, you should seek medical care, call police, and obtain the driver’s insurance and contact information if you are able. These steps can help protect your health and create a record of what happened.

When medical bills begin arriving, the at-fault driver’s liability insurance may cover accident-related treatment. Medical payments coverage on your own auto policy or health insurance may also help with eligible expenses while a liability claim is pending, depending on the available coverage and circumstances.

If questions arise about how the crash happened, police reports, crosswalk signals, nearby surveillance video, photographs, and witness accounts may help show what occurred. This evidence can also help address disagreements about the driver’s actions before the collision.

Once your losses become clearer, a pedestrian injury claim may include medical expenses, lost income, and compensation for pain and suffering. The amount available depends on your losses, the insurance coverage involved, and how the injury affects your daily life.

In some cases, punitive damages may also be available. Tennessee generally limits these damages to cases involving serious misconduct, such as when a driver acted intentionally, maliciously, fraudulently, or recklessly.

In Tennessee, you generally have one year from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, although limited exceptions may apply. Missing the applicable deadline can prevent your claim from moving forward in court.

As your claim moves forward, a pedestrian accident lawyer can explain which losses may be included, review the available insurance coverage, and help you evaluate a settlement offer. A lawyer can also address disputes over fault or the value of your claim.
