Don’t be so sure that you aren’t hurt! Some pedestrian accident victims don’t feel hurt after the accident, even though they have suffered potentially severe and life-altering injuries. The stress and adrenaline of the moments after an accident can mask pain, and some dangerous injuries (like brain and spinal cord trauma) do not necessarily show symptoms right away. If left untreated, those injuries could get much worse.

So, the answer to the question is yes, you still have rights, but to protect them to their fullest, you need to seek immediate medical attention and follow your doctor’s orders. Never assume that feeling “ok” after an Atlantic City pedestrian accident means you escaped it without an injury. Go see the doctor for a full exam that looks for injuries, and then call an experienced pedestrian accident injury lawyer to learn about your rights.
