Pedestrian safety should be a primary concern for all drivers on any roadway, yet pedestrian rights are often ignored and pedestrians are the victims of accidents.
Pedestrians always have 100% right of way before vehicles. This means that drivers are forced to yield to pedestrians at all times and do whatever is necessary to avoid hitting them.

We protect the rights of victims injured in pedestrian accidents.
If you live in the New York City metropolitan area, you know that walking down the street or in a crosswalk can often be a harrowing experience. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 5376 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States in 2015. This averages a pedestrian traffic-related death occurring once every 1.6 hours. Most pedestrian accidents occur in urban areas such as New York City. When there is nothing between you and a moving vehicle, even if it is moving slowly, your injuries can be serious and even catastrophic. In fact, the CDC study showed that a pedestrian was much more likely to die in a motor vehicle crash than a passenger.

If you or a loved one was injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be wondering how to proceed with your case and whether you are entitled to recover damages to help cover the losses you have incurred.
