Can a pedestrian accident report be incomplete?
The first police report may not tell the whole story in a pedestrian crash.
Learn why the first version of a police report is not always the final word after a crash with a pedestrian.
In this Lawyers in the House short, attorneys Jason Saltzman and Ellen Forrester explain why injured pedestrians may be at a disadvantage when an accident report is created. You’ll learn how early accounts can be incomplete, why the driver’s version may be the only story police hear at first, and why being outside a crosswalk does not automatically mean the pedestrian is at fault.
Main points:
• Why the injured pedestrian may not speak to police at the scene
• How early accident reports can miss key facts
• Why an initial fault finding may be challenged
