The process of filing a claim really starts as soon as the accident happens. Get the contact information of the other driver if you can. Get the contact information for witnesses, if possible. Take down with the license plate, make and model of the car, take photos of your injuries and the accident scene as well as the surrounding area. The more documentation you have the better. Of course, get medical attention and especially emergency medical attention if your injuries may be serious.
You will also want to contact an experienced pedestrian accident injury claims attorney. Your attorney can take care of the many steps involved in filing a claim, from filing the paperwork, to having liable parties served, to negotiating with insurance companies and other parties. The goal of your attorney is to make sure you get the fairest compensation possible.
