What To Do After Your Injury
- Call 911
A police report is critical in pedestrian accident cases — it documents the at-fault driver's information and initial findings.
- Get Witness Information
Pedestrian accidents often have witnesses. Their statements can be decisive if the driver disputes fault.
- Accept Emergency Medical Treatment
Do not refuse transport to the ER. Pedestrian accident injuries are frequently more serious than they initially appear.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if the driver claims the pedestrian was jaywalking?
Even if a pedestrian was jaywalking, the driver may still be primarily at fault — drivers have a duty to watch for pedestrians. Ohio's comparative fault system allows recovery as long as you were less than 51% at fault.
Can I recover if the driver who hit me was uninsured?
Yes. Ohio law requires uninsured motorist (UM) coverage on all auto policies. Your own auto insurance (or a family member's) may cover your injuries even if you were on foot.
