We Are Here to Help ... And We Get Results
We know that pedestrian accidents often result in a wrongful death or devastating injuries — broken bones, severe lacerations, head trauma and internal injuries. That means high medical bills, lost time from work and a long and painful recovery. Our goal is obtain compensation to cover your losses and to take on the burden of dealing with the insurance companies who often do not have your best interests at heart.
In New York City alone, nearly 11,000 pedestrians are injured each year, according to the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles. Two-thirds of those accidents occurred in intersections. The DMV cites driver inattention, failure to yield the right of way and disregarded stop signs and stoplights as some of the most common reasons that pedestrians are struck down.
We know that the driver and the insurance company may try to shift the blame, saying the victim crossed against the light or darted into the street. Our skilled attorneys act fast to get witness statements and document evidence at the crash site to put fault where it belongs.
Note: Even if you were not in the crosswalk, you may still be entitled to compensation. Drivers are still responsible for obeying traffic laws and driving cautiously in residential areas or pedestrian zones. Let us determine if you have a case.
