LOCATION: Chester Avenue and 19th Street in Bakersfield, California

Just before 11 a.m. this morning, a driver struck a pedestrian at the intersection of Chester Avenue and 19th Street in downtown Bakersfield. The Bakersfield Police Department sent deputies to the scene. At this time, I don't know the exact circumstances leading up to the collision, but there were severe injuries involved and the person was transported to the hospital.

The driver who hit the pedestrian stopped and fully cooperated with authorities, which is an important part of handling an accident like this.

Pedestrian accidents can be life-altering in some cases. Not everyone recovers. Those who do may be out of work for weeks or months and some have a permanent disability.

When a person is hurt in a pedestrian accident, it's necessary they understand their rights and take the right steps to protect themselves. A person may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

So now James Johnson would like to give you a step-by-step guide on what a person should do if they or someone they love, is involved in a pedestrian accident.

First and foremost, if you're injured or even suspect you might be, seek medical attention immediately. Your health is the top priority.

Next, call the police or have someone do it for you. Investigators must respond to the scene to document the accident and gather all relevant information.

If you can, gather as much evidence as possible, including photos of the scene, contact details for witnesses, and any other relevant information. Someone else may do this for you if you are unable to yourself.

Once you are stable and your immediate health needs have been met, contact a personal injury lawyer. An experienced lawyer can guide you through the legal process, negotiate with insurance companies, and help ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
