Pedestrian Accidents in New York 

Pedestrians have no protection from harm in the event of an accident, which means that they are likely to become seriously injured or even killed. In one year’s time in New York, hundreds of lives are lost and many people are seriously injured in pedestrian accidents due to the reckless acts of others. More pedestrian-related collisions happen in New York than in many other states throughout the U.S. If you have been hurt in a pedestrian accident and you know that another party is to blame, it is important that you have the help of an attorney on your side.

Nobody ever prepares to become injured in a New York pedestrian accident but this is the reality that so many people face every single year. Being hurt in one of these accidents can leave you with many questions that you cannot answer on your own. For instance, what types of deadlines will you be required to meet when it comes to your claim? Will your case be settled or will it make it all the way to trial?
