Getting hit by a car in Altamonte Springs is no joke—unless you count your orthopedic surgeon’s new car paid for by your broken leg. On a serious note, pedestrian accidents can leave lasting injuries, expensive medical bills, and emotional trauma. If you’re dealing with pain, paperwork, and stubborn insurance companies, Chad Barr Law is here to help.
Hit by a Car in Altamonte Springs? You’re Not Alone
Altamonte Springs sees more pedestrian accidents than you’d think. Busy intersections like SR 436, Palm Springs Drive, and Maitland Boulevard are hotspots. A moment of driver distraction can change your life forever—even in a quiet parking lot.
If you were hit by a car while walking, jogging, or standing at a crosswalk, Florida law protects you. You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. But don’t expect the insurance company to hand it over without a fight.
Hit by a Car? What to Do Right Away
- Call 911 and report the crash.
- Get medical help, even if you feel okay.
- Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and the vehicle. (If your injury includes bruising, continue to take pictures through the bruising process – as it usually gets uglier as the days go on.)
- Get witness contact info and the police report.
- Call Chad Barr Law. The sooner, the better.
Seriously, time matters. Evidence disappears. Insurance companies move fast to protect their bottom line. You need a personal injury law firm that moves faster.
