Our firm recognizes the potential severity of pedestrian accidents and can help you seek a positive case result.

With the vast number of pedestrians throughout Manhattan and all of NYC, it is no wonder that these accidents occur.

Broken bones, internal organ damage, spinal cord injury and severe head trauma are all physical injuries that may be associated with pedestrian accidents.

About NYC Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents frequently occur because drivers are not paying attention, are speeding or have violated a traffic law. After an accident occurs, however, the driver may be quick to lay blame on the pedestrian. "They came out of nowhere!" is a common excuse drivers may say at the scene. Instead of allowing the negligent driver to accuse you or your loved one of causing the accident, hire an attorney who can fully investigate the matter in order to establish the true cause of the incident. Pedestrians often have the right of way, particularly at crosswalks, but there are also other circumstances where a pedestrian may not be held accountable even if he or she was not on the sidewalk or in a crosswalk. It is important to get a full understanding of your legal rights.
