A Direct Answer
What should be documented after a pedestrian accident?
Prioritize medical care and preserve a factual record of the location and collision. Photographs, police reports, witness details, vehicle information, camera locations, roadway markings, lighting, signage, and treatment records can all be useful. The legal analysis depends on the individual facts of the collision, including the location, the vehicle, the people involved, and the available evidence.

A pedestrian collision may require a careful look at the physical location as well as the vehicle and medical record. Roadway markings, lighting, visibility, traffic signals, cameras, witnesses, and the sequence of events can all matter depending on the incident. Conditions can change quickly after a crash, so preserving factual information early can help create a clearer starting point for a review.
