With the heavy foot traffic of New York City, it is no surprise that pedestrian accidents are a common occurrence. Many people do not know what to do after they've been injured in a pedestrian accident. After seeking medical attention if necessary, victims can write down as many details about the accident as they can. Accident victims can note their injuries, wage losses, and other losses they may have suffered because of the accident. If other people were involved in the accident, they may also take note of the conversations they have had with those other individuals.
