Brooklyn, NY Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Many pedestrian accidents are the result of driver negligence. Common causes can include texting while driving, speeding in school zones or residential areas, driving while under the influence, failing to yield at a crosswalk, making illegal turns, and running red lights. Even at low speeds, a pedestrian accident can be deadly. Injuries can range from more minor issues like bruises and cuts to broken bones and fractures to more serious problems like traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage.

Besides pursuing compensation for immediate and long-term medical care, we can help you pursue compensation for other factors, like lost wages and emotional distress. Trying to handle the legal aftermath of a pedestrian accident can be difficult, especially when you’re dealing with medical bills. 

Our team can handle the legal aspects of your case while you focus on recovering. Our team can help by gathering evidence, including medical and police reports, reviewing traffic camera footage, and speaking with witnesses. We know how to leverage this evidence both during negotiations and inside the courtroom, should your case go to trial.

New York has a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including pedestrian accidents. While three years may sound like a long time, several factors can delay a case. For example, insurance adjusters often use tactics like refusing to negotiate or delaying communications. Our team can intervene and apply legal pressure to force the insurance companies to the table.
