Hurt In A Pedestrian Accident?

Pedestrian accidents are some of the most dangerous accidents one can find themselves in. They are prevalent in densely populated urban areas, like New York City, where heavy foot traffic surrounds streets busy with cars, trucks, buses, and all other manner of vehicles. When these collisions occur, the pedestrian is exposed to extremely dangerous impacts that can result in serious, even life-threatening injuries.

Proving Fault in Pedestrian Accidents
Determining who is at fault in an accident is often difficult, but your personal injury attorney can help. By law, drivers must show that they have operated the vehicle with reasonable care. If, however, the driver operated the vehicle negligently and that negligence resulted in your accident they may be held responsible. Examples of negligent driving include:
Distracted driving
Texting or use of a phone while driving
Fail to notice a pedestrian “walk” signal
Failure to notice the crosswalk and pedestrians in the crosswalk
Failure to signal a turn
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
New York City is one of the busiest cities in the country—if not the world—and is prone to pedestrian accidents due to motorist negligence. Whether it be at crosswalks, bus stops, intersections, parking lots, gas stations, or any other point where vehicle traffic and pedestrian travel must coincide, the simplest motorist mistake can result in serious injury.
Common examples of motorist negligence in pedestrian accidents include:
Speeding
Drunk or impaired driving
Distracted driving (texting, phone, radio, etc.)
Failure to obey traffic signs and signals
Failure to obey crosswalk areas
Failure to properly signal turns at intersections
