Protecting The Rights Of Injured Pedestrians
City of Pedestrians
New York City is truly a city of pedestrians. From commuting to work, walking the dog or taking a trip to the corner store, the majority of New Yorkers travel by foot every day. And while pedestrians may rule the city, they are at a dangerous disadvantage if hit by a vehicle while walking on our streets.
Risk of Serious Injury
According to a recent New York Times article, the majority of pedestrian accidents in NYC happen in crosswalks. In these accidents, victims can face a range of serious injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, internal bleeding and spinal cord damage. These individuals can also face extensive medical bills with no way to pay.

Making The Case For Compensation
Obtain Solid Evidence
The truth of the matter is, a great majority of New York City drivers fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks — and these types of accidents normally occur when the traffic signals are giving the right of way to pedestrians. But proving a personal injury case takes more than statistics. It takes attorneys who know how to obtain solid evidence and prove liability.
Building a Strong Case
Whether you were hit in a crosswalk by a taxi, delivery vehicle, bus or a privately owned car, our lawyers are ready to help. We are ready to fight allegations of jaywalking and walking against the light, or weak arguments from the defense surrounding your use of an electronic device or blood alcohol level while walking. We find and interview witnesses, obtain police records, and investigate the driver’s history.
Cover Medical Expenses
After establishing responsibility, we focus on your injuries and medical expenses. We work with top medical specialists to quantify your current and future medical needs, and call upon economists to calculate your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Tourists and business visitors walk our city on a daily basis just as our residents do. If you were injured in an NYC crosswalk accident while visiting our city, contact our law firm for help.
