PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT IN NEW YORK

If you were injured in a pedestrian car accident in New York, or a loved one has suffered injury or death, you may be eligible to file a car accident lawsuit in NY and secure monetary damages for your ordeal.

 

Attorneys at Sanders & Kim can advise you as to your legal rights, can help collect medical records and police reports to use as evidence, and can represent you in settlement negotiations or at trial in a court of law. If a loved one has died tragically as a result of a pedestrian car crash, a wrongful death lawsuit may be the first step in seeking justice and closure for you and your family.

 

Compared to a large, metal motor vehicle, every human body is fragile and vulnerable. Pedestrians make especially vulnerable targets and victims, especially in New York—ranked the most dangerous city in the country for pedestrians by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Pedestrian Crash Report (NPCR).

 

Of 7,000 pedestrian car accidents in New York City observed over a 4 year period, pedestrians are 10 times more likely to lose their lives in auto accidents than vehicle occupants. Approximately 1 out of 3 pedestrian accidents were due to driver inattention; and even more alarming- one in three pedestrian fatalities were due to the driver’s failure to yield the right of way.

Damages Available To Victims 

Pedestrian accident victims and their families may be eligible for damages including medical expenses, time away from work, lost ability to earn a living, permanent disability, brain damage, scarring, pain and suffering, and other losses.  

 

Multi-million dollar accident settlements are awarded every year to pedestrians who have suffered serious injuries at the hands of negligent drivers.
