Being hit by a car while walking or cycling can be a traumatic experience and may result in serious injuries. Whether you were crossing the street, walking alongside a road or riding your bike, seeking prompt medical attention following an accident is important.
At Billings Chiropractic Injury Clinic, we understand the challenges pedestrians and cyclists can face following an accident. Our team of experienced chiropractors and therapists provides personalized care to help patients recover from their injuries and return to their normal activities.
What Should You Do After Being Hit by a Car?
If you’ve been involved in a pedestrian or cycling accident, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you initially feel fine.
Some injuries, such as concussions, may not present symptoms immediately but can be serious if left untreated. An appropriate medical assessment can help identify injuries and determine what treatment or further care may be required.
Pedestrian and cycling accidents can happen for many reasons, including driver negligence, distracted driving and speeding. Regardless of how an accident occurred, the priority should be making sure any injuries are properly assessed.

Being struck by a vehicle can result in a variety of injuries. These may include fractures, spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries and other musculoskeletal injuries.
The type and severity of an injury will depend on the circumstances of the accident, which is why seeking appropriate medical attention following a collision is important.
Once you’ve received medical attention, you may also require additional care as part of your recovery.
